In EU you were given an option by META to pay for adfree experience or accept targeted ads

Problem 1: if you paid, they would not stop tracking you. They would just stop showing ads. They would still be able to suggest content from commercial accounts.

Problem 2: the price was unreasonable. It depended on how many accounts you have across the platforms but i believe that the price for my profile and a couple of pages was €32 every month

Problem 3: these two options replaced the option to accept untargeted ads. I was ok with untargeted but they removed the option

Their solution has since been deemed as 'not ok' by the EU data protection board
