Users need to pay a monthly fee to get rid of advertisements on the platform, the report said. Of course, this is not over, and users who use both Facebook and Instagram will have to pay an extra fee to overwrite the configuration files for both platforms.

In addition, the price of purchasing the service through different channels varies: 9.99 euros per month if purchased online (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 78 yuan) and 12.99 euros per month if purchased through Google or Apple's app store (currently about 101 yuan).

Starting from March 1 next year, each additional account in the user account center will charge an additional fee of 6 euros per month (currently about 47 yuan) on the web side and 8 euros (currently about 62 yuan) on iOS and Android.

The service is available only to users over the age of 18. According to Meta, the company will require adult users to choose to subscribe or use its products for free after laws change in some areas.

CTOnews.com previously reported that in July, the EU Supreme Court effectively banned Meta from merging user data collected through its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, as well as external websites and applications, unless explicitly agreed by users.

In January, Meta was fined 390 million euros by Irish regulators for forcing users to accept personalized ads as a condition for using Facebook.

The rulings stem from the 2018 European General data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a landmark legislation to protect people's online data.
