Starting in November, users in Europe can subscribe for 9.99 euros a month on desktop or 12.99 euros on mobile devices.

NBC reports that the new subscription service comes after the EU's top court told the company it must obtain consent before showing users ads.

The strict data privacy laws reportedly restrict Meta's ability to tailor advertisements by tracking the online activity of its users.

According to a news release from Meta, users who choose not to pay are giving their consent to being shown ads under the new subscription model.

Meta added that users who subscribe will also not have their personal information used for tailoring ads.

The option for people to purchase a subscription for no ads balances the requirements of European regulators while giving users choice and allowing Meta to continue serving all people in the EU, EEA and Switzerland, Meta statement, via NBC.

Initially, users' ad-free subscriptions will be applied to all accounts linked to their Accounts Center, which means the ad-free experience will be available across profiles.

However, after February, an additional 6 euro fee will be charged on the web and an 8 euro charge will be applied on mobile for each extra account.

EU in Turmoil? Hungary REJECTS EU’s Ukraine War Plan |Orban Warns ‘Ukraine Can NEVER Beat Russia’

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has vowed to block the EU’s new budget plan, refusing to support additional funding for Ukraine’s war effort. Orbán slammed the proposal as a “budget of hopelessness,” arguing it would harm European farmers, blackmail Hungary, and waste resources on a conflict Ukraine cannot win. He warned that 20–25% of the EU’s upcoming budget would directly go to Ukraine, leaving Europe weaker and divided. As Brussels pushes for unity, Orbán insists Ukraine should remain a partner, not a full EU member. #ViktorOrban #Hungary #EU #UkraineWar #UkraineCrisis #RussiaUkraine #EUPolitics #EuropeanUnion #EUConflict #OrbánVsEU #UkraineFunding #EUrope #Brussels #WarFunding #Geopolitics #HungaryNews #OrbanSpeech #BudgetOfHopelessness #UkraineSupport #RussiaWar #EuropeanFarmers #EUBlackmail #OrbánStatement #GlobalPolitics #UkraineUpdate #HungaryEUClash #PoliticalDrama #OrbánBlocks #UkraineAid #WarEconomy Also Read Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Says It Won't Sign Europe's AI Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/artificial-intelligence/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-say-it-wont-sign-europes-ai-agreement-011-7805923.html?ref=DMDesc Denmark Takes Legislative Action Against AI-Generated Deepfakes To Protect Personal Identity Rights :: https://www.oneindia.com/artificial-intelligence/danish-government-amends-copyright-laws-ai-generated-deepfakes-011-7801255.html?ref=DMDesc Mexico and European Union Revamp Trade Agreement Ahead of Trump's Inauguration to Counter Tariff Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mexico-eu-revamp-trade-agreement-before-trump-inauguration-011-4045545.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~

Trump SLAPS 35% Import Tariff On Canada, Citing Ottawa’s Failure To Curb Fentanyl Flow Into U.S [Video]

Trump SLAPS 35% Import Tariff On Canada, Citing Ottawa’s Failure To Curb Fentanyl Flow Into U.S

U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a global trade storm by raising tariffs on Canadian imports to 35%, accusing Ottawa of failing to curb fentanyl and drug flows into America. Prime Minister Mark Carney defended Canada’s efforts, but Trump claimed negotiations fell short. The new rate—up from 25%—comes amid broader tariffs hitting dozens of countries. Despite the USMCA shielding nearly 90% of Canadian exports, key goods like dairy, wood, and leather may still be taxed. Trump spared Mexico for now but warned that other nations—including Taiwan, India, Laos, and even Switzerland—face harsh levies, some as high as 41%. Critics warn of soaring consumer prices and economic disruption, but the White House insists the tariffs are "rebuilding the greatest economy in history." With global trade talks in limbo and retaliations expected, this marks Trump’s boldest move yet in his battle to reset world commerce. #TrumpTariffs #CanadaTradeWar #USCanadaTensions #35PercentTariff #GlobalTradeCrisis #DrugPolicy #USMCA #TrumpNews #FentanylCrisis #MexicoTrade #IndiaTariff #TaiwanSanctions #Laos40PercentTariff #TradeDeficit #TrumpTradePolicy #MarkCarney #WhiteHouseOrders #EconomicShockwave #TrumpVsWorld #TradeWar2025 ~GR.125~HT.408~
