I had turned targeted ads off, on Facebook and Instagram. I still got ads but they were not targeted based on my data. I could live with that
Today I got a popup requiring me to pick an option of either accepting targeted ads or pay the equivalent of €13/$14 for an addfree experience across all meta platforms.
Well personally I don’t mind them showing ads. I do want them to not spy on me to have them be targeted. It’s where I draw the line.
