Following a major lawsuit loss, Meta is mulling the idea of charging a subscription to remove advertising for users in the UK.

A similar offer is available in the EU.

Advertising is Meta’s biggest money maker so this may simply be a case of talk as the company tries to appease regulators.

It’s going to be one of those things where you pay to remove the obvious ads already marked as promoted content. Then it will be replaced by endless feed of accounts posting ai slop that markets specific items/ideas to people. Why get paid to put Tide ads on side banner when the user can pay you to receive fake content promoting right wing ideology (in exchange for access to power in the us). There is no world in which Facebook, a tool to generate fake consensus, is not filled with advertisements. Paid or not paid, you’re being advertised to on there
