According to a source familiar with the situation, the EU privacy watchdog is poised to express opposition to Meta Platforms’ fee-based privacy model.
Meta’s introduction of a subscription service in Europe, aimed at safeguarding users’ privacy through a paid model devoid of ads, has drawn scrutiny from privacy advocates and consumer organizations.
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) is expected to release its official stance on the matter soon, although they have refrained from providing comments when approached. Initial coverage of the EDPB’s forthcoming opinion was reported by Politico.
