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.
I would happily pay (not for Facebook, but as a general consideration) if you would give me an ads free eperience AND stop gathering data from me.
At this point what about donate to fediverse like Lemmy to get an ads free experence anyway but without beign forced by corps?
That’s what I am doing, actually
The very fact that you’re paying them means giving up your information.
Well, yeah but it’s not what we usually means when we talk about data economy, aren’t we?
It’s not like your credit card and payment info tells you who your mother and the 50 most relevant people to you are
Donate to BRAVE & UBLOCK.
I’d rather eat a shoe
Tiktok it and doNtr proceeds to Wikipedia then
Brave is sketchy as hell, nobody should ever use them. Ublock I agree with.
Thnx 4 explain
