Charges of €12.99 a month smartphone users for and €9.99 for desktop introduced to comply with EU data privacy rules
Facebook and Instagram users in the European Union will be charged up to €12.99 a month for ad-free versions of the social networks as a way to comply with the bloc’s data privacy rules, parent company Meta said on Monday.
Starting in November, users on desktop browsers can pay €9.99 ($10.50) a month, while Apple iOS or Android users will pay roughly €12.99. The higher prices reflect commissions charged by the Apple and Google app stores on in-app payments, the company said in a blogpost.
