Why Company Announced These Subscription Plans?
This move comes in response to new regulations in Europe that are compelling companies like Meta to halt ad services for users in the EU, European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland.
Nothing Changes For Users Of The Free Versions
However, for those in Europe who don't mind seeing ads on these platforms, the free versions of Facebook and Instagram will continue to be available.
Meta emphasizes that nothing changes for users of the free versions in these countries. The introduction of ad-free subscriptions simply provides an alternative for those who find advertisements disruptive.
Meta has expressed its commitment to the value of an ad-supported internet that assists small businesses in connecting with their customers.
Nevertheless, with the implementation of new EU rules restricting the collection of user data for advertising purposes, these subscription options serve as a means for users to enjoy their favorite platforms without the intrusion of ads.
