The Wall Street Journal reported that Meta plans to move to a "Pay for your Rights" model, where EU users will have to pay $ 168 a year (€ 160 a year) if they don't agree to give up their fundamental right to privacy on platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. History has shown that Meta's regulator, the Irish DPC, is likely to agree to any way that Meta can bypass the GDPR. However, the company may also be able to use six words from a recent Court of Justice (CJEU) ruling to support its approach.
I think this will still be deceptive. These companies have proven countless times that they can't be trusted, because every word of theirs is a lie.
They'll just take the money and do the same.
It gets known they mine paying users too for their data? Ooopsie, it was a mistake (that we let you know about it), won't happen again, pinky promise!
I said the business model is not inherently deceptive. Doesn't mean bad actors still won't try to deceive.
when the punishment is less than the profit, there’s no incentive not to deceive …
