Fresh complaint against Facebook parent Meta over ‘pay for privacy’ consent
Fresh complaint against Facebook parent Meta over ‘pay for privacy’ consent
Austrian privacy advocate Max Schrems' Noyb group has filed a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority against Meta's controversial paid, no-ads subscription service. The group alleges that withdrawing consent for data tracking is difficult, making privacy a paid luxury. They argue that this violates EU rules and demand a clear choice for users regarding data collection and targeted advertising. Noyb urges the Austrian watchdog to enforce a user-friendly opt-out mechanism and potentially fine Meta for non-compliance. The complaint will also be reviewed by the Irish data protection watchdog, as Meta's European headquarters are in Ireland.
