Awful to see our personal privacy and social lives being ransomed like this. €10 seems like a price gouge for a social media site, and I'm even seeing a price tag of 150SEK (~€15) In Sweden.

You can still choose to use the "free" version where you have to accept all the cookies, trackers and I don't know what else.

True, that part never changed. I'm not using any Facebook social networks, so it doesn't affect me. But adding more options doesn't seem like a bad thing to me, even though the price seems pretty steep.

Shit thing for me, I use it to reach guests and make announcements for the restaurant. Sucks but that's where most people still get local information.

But you/they can still use the free, ad-supported tier like before. I don't see any change to people who don't pay.

It just added the option to get rid of ads and trackers in exchange for money.
