If you believe Facebook will stop abusing your privacy if you pay them, I have a bridge to sell you…
Why is that a phrase? People do occasionally sell bridges.
Thanks
No. All bridges are gifted by the Bridge God. Attempts to create and then market a bridge results in mysterious death, 103% of the time.
The bridge god told me 60%, I want a refund
Is it a nice bridge?
Privacy? What is this article talking about. Ads not displaying in no way implies privacy. They will harvest your data as much as it possibly can either way. All you are doing by paying to remove ads is directly funding the ad business model.
Exactly this!
The article confuses privacy and ads-free. As in, you pay $10 a month not to see what the data they collect on you would be used for if you didn’t pay. But they still collect data on you and monetize it in many other ways.
And if you think this is the final price, I’d like to buy a bridge from you…
And its not like their similar concepts at all. This journalist needs to actually read Facebook’s terms of service.
Here’s a tip that costs less than $10/month - if you want privacy, just don’t go on Facebook!
T’ain’t enough. Gotta block everything they do, everywhere on the internet.
As someone so eloquently put it: you might not have a facebook profile, but facebook has a you profile.
If you’ve ever seen a “share on facebook” button on another website, they’ve been watching you.
Aka a shadow profile.
Agreed, but how long have people been saying if you’re not paying, that you’re the product and they’d rather pay for privacy? Well, here they go!
Anybody with a brain wouldn’t actually trust Meta, but the idea is right at least.
But people pay thousands for cars and still end up the product. I don’t think paying guarantees privacy anymore and if anything is an outdated concept that gives people a false sense of security if they still buy into it. Data collection is the rage now.
And you’d better believe that they’ll have twice-a-year price hikes, Netflix-style.
They gotta pump up those numbers, those are rookie numbers
Uninstalling that garbage is free
Well, getting an extra 10$ each month sounds nice but it’s really not remotely enough to make me use Facebook.
There’s no fucking way. They’ll take your $10 and still sell all your shit.
