Adding to that, with more and more sophisticated targeted advertising and tracking across various apps, ads have become, at times, spookily accurate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When surveyed, the instinctual reaction of the TNW editorial office was a resounding \u201cno.\u201d However, \u20ac9.99 a month to escape a barrage of ads might not seem such a horrible proposition for everyone \u2014 although, given Meta\u2019s revenue model, one that the tech giant did not want to have to make.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe believe in a free, ad-supported internet \u2013 and will continue to offer people free access to our personalised products and services regardless of income,\u201d the company said in a statement. However, it said it was introducing the new subscription model to comply with European Union regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"inarticle-wrapper channel-cta\">\n<div class=\"ica-text\">\n<p class=\"ica-text__title\">Get your ticket NOW for TNW Conference &#8211; Super Earlybird is almost sold out!<\/p>\n<p>Unleash innovation, connect with thousands of tech lovers and shape the future on June 20-21, 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meta also, perhaps a little resentfully, added that it \u201crespects the spirit and purpose of these evolving European regulations, and are committed to complying with them.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Purchase_via_an_app_store_pay_more\"><\/span>Purchase via an app store, pay more<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ad-free subscription service will also be available to residents in the EEA and Switzerland, and have a different price depending on where you purchase it. The \u20ac9.99 is when buying it on the web, whereas paying for it via iOS or Android will cost \u20ac12.99. Meta stated that the higher price was due to the additional charges by Apple and Google through their respective policies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The subscription service will be available for people 18 years of age and older, whereas the company stated it would \u201ccontinue to explore how to provide teens with a useful and responsible ad experience given this evolving regulatory landscape.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meta said that if users chose to continue to engage with its platforms for free, their experience would stay the same. Advertisers will also be able to continue running personalised advertising campaigns in Europe.\u00a0<\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
