Meta cuts EU ad
It's pretty weird to live in a world in which there are sales on the price of not being bombarded with advertisements but, alas, here we are.
On Tuesday, Meta announced that it is reducing the price of a monthly subscription for its ad-free tier in the EU by 40 percent, from €9.99 to €5.99 on the web and from €12.99 to €7.99 on iOS and Android. Each additional Facebook or Instagram account will be charged €4 on the web and €5 on iOS and Android.
SEE ALSO: I tried out Facebook's ad-free tier. Here's what it's like.The company also announced that it would "offer people in the EU an additional new choice to use Facebook and Instagram for free with less personalized ads."
Meta adds that it will use "significantly less data to show ads," which means the ads will likely be less relevant to someone's interests. The company notes that it's offering this option despite studies showing that "people and businesses prefer personalized ads." Personalized ads, the company notes, "will always be the cornerstone of a free and inclusive internet."
SEE ALSO: Meta allegedly considering ad-free, paid version of its EU apps"Over the coming weeks, people in the EU who choose to use Facebook and Instagram for free with ads will be able to choose to see 'less personalized ads,'" Meta said in a blog post. "This less personalized ads option relies on less data, so we’ll show ads based only on context – what a person sees in a particular session on Facebook and Instagram – and a minimal set of data points including a person’s age, location, gender, and how a person engages with ads."
This comes a year after Meta first announced it would be offering a monthly subscription fee to use Facebook and Instagram without any ads for users in the EU, EEA, and Switzerland.
