Adtech giant Meta's bid to keep tracking and profiling users of Facebook and Instagram in Europe in spite of the bloc's comprehensive data protection laws Adtech giant Meta's bid to keep tracking and profiling users of Facebook and Instagram in Europe in spite of the bloc's comprehensive data protection laws is facing another privacy rights challenge.
Personally i haven’t used Facebook or Instagram since they give me the option between payed subscription (actually an insate price, higher than 2-3 streaming services) or to accept targeted ads.
I don’t mind ads, but they had removed the option for untargeted ads.
I have also filed a complain to the local data authorities who promised to look in to it, and if not rellevant to themselves, would forward to the right authorities.
ads on facebook, which includes ‘sponsored’ bullshit in your feed, are dangerous. links to bogus malware-infested and scareware/support scams are quite common in those. i have a couple users a month, at least, get tripped-up by one of those.
