Recently a European Court has judged that Meta’s way of collecting and using people’s data in Europe has been in violation of privacy regulations between 2018 and 2023.

But is your right to privacy for sale? Let’s find out!

    Well… Meta isn’t a charity so they need to have a monetization model. If something is free then you are the product. Is 120 euros not worth your privacy? If the answer is “no” then your choice is to accept the ads or not to use the platform. I don’t see how this is a problem.
