Finally! A benefit of Brexit!

This only applies to the EU, EEA and Switzerland.

If it's for Meta, surely WhatsApp would show this, too. I didn't get it (I live in the EU too)

The announcement only mentions Facebook and Instagram.

LOL growstuff- at last, Yipeeee.

I have an ad blocker, so didn't get adverts on my FB page before.

It isn’t a scam, I’ll suffer the ads.

BlueBelle Thu 09-Nov-23 16:46:28

I think it may be a scam actually

BlueBelle Thu 09-Nov-23 16:46:11

No I ve not had anything like that …… but if I do I ll carry on as before I get loads of ads anyway I just ignore them or delete them
So answer to your question I ll carry on ignoring the adverts but I won’t be deleting my account

No, I haven't had that. Could it be a scam?

When I logged on to Facebook today, I had a message from META- giving me two choices. Either I agree to pay and subscribe for usage without any ads, or agree to any ads they want to send me.

So for now have decided to just not use the site any more. What will you do?

Only issue is that I have many photos on that site I would like to retrieve.
