Ili Wakazi wa EU waweze kufurahia Haki zao za Msingi za Faragha (ad-free service) chini ya Sheria ya Umoja wa Ulaya pindi wanapotumia Facebook na Instagram, watatakiwa kulipia Tsh. 35,138 kwa Mwezi, au 421,667 kwa Mwaka ili kupata Faragha hiyo Kampuni ya #Meta imekuja na pendekezo hili kama jaribio la kutii Sheria ya Ulinzi wa Taarifa Binafsi ya EU zinazotishia kuzuia uwezo wake wa kuweka Matangazo kwa watumiaji bila idhini yao -------- (Reuters) - Meta Platforms (META.O) is looking to introduce ad-free subscription plans for Instagram and Facebook users in Europe, two people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Several pricing plans were discussed, but the 10 euro ($10.49) per month plan is the most feasible, one of them said, while the other source said it will be implemented in the coming months. The proposal is an attempt by Meta to comply with European Union regulations that threaten to curb its ability to personalize ads for users without their consent and hurt its major revenue source. Offering a choice between a free, ad-supported plan and a paid subscription might lead to users opting for the former, helping Meta comply with regulations without affecting its ad business. Meanwhile, Netflix's streaming subscription, which charges 7.99 euros for a basic plan, while Alphabet's (GOOGL.O) YouTube Premium costs about 12 euros and Spotify's (SPOT.N) Premium service is priced at about 11 euros. On mobile devices, the price for a single account would jump to roughly 13 euros because Meta would factor in commissions charged by Apple's and Google's app stores, the second source said. The social media company was fined 390 million euros earlier this year by Ireland's Data Privacy Commissioner and told it cannot use the so-called "contract" legal basis to send users ads based on their online activity.
