In response to pressure from EU regulators, it was reported in early September 2023 that Meta was considering developing paid versions of ad-free Facebook and Instagram apps for users in the EU.
According to a recent report from the Wall Street Journal, Meta is planning to develop an ad-free version of Facebook or Instagram. The desktop app version will be available for about $6 to $10 per month (about 900 to 1,500 yen), and the mobile app version will be available for about $14 per month.
According to reports, Meta's plan to develop an ad-free paid app is called 'Subscription No Ads' (SNA), and information has already been shared with EU privacy regulators. is. However, nothing has been decided at the time of article creation, and it is necessary to obtain some feedback and solve some problems before official deployment.
When Mashable, a foreign media outlet, contacted Meta about this report, a spokesperson said, ``Meta believes in the value of a free service supported by personalized ads, but we are considering options to comply with evolving regulatory requirements.'' I'm looking into it.'' was the response. However, a Meta spokesperson neither confirms nor denies the existence of SNA.
According to the Wall Street Journal, users will still have the option of using the free (regular) versions of Instagram and Facebook. However, if you use the free version, you will have to put up with ads. On the other hand, users of the paid version can use Instagram and Facebook without advertisements, which means they are freed from ``intrusive tracking'' for developing personalized ads.
The reason Meta is planning an ad-free paid version of the app is as part of its efforts to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is unclear whether or when Meta will actually release an ad-free paid version of the app. However, Mashable reports that ``it is clear that the ad-free paid version will become quite popular'' due to privacy concerns and the ability to escape from intrusive ads.
