I had turned targeted ads off, on Facebook and Instagram. I still got ads but they were not targeted based on my data. I could live with that
Today I got a popup requiring me to pick an option of either accepting targeted ads or pay the equivalent of €13/$14 for an addfree experience across all meta platforms.
At this point what about donate to fediverse like Lemmy to get an ads free experence anyway but without beign forced by corps?
That's what I am doing, actually
