Ok, so I should use Meta services anyway guilty-free?

I'm not claiming I'm not being tracked. But in theory, the GDPR should have made that illegal (to my understading) as I'm in the EU.

If the law is just paper anyway, then what's the point of the discussion?

Indeed. I can't know for sure. But the GDPR is supposed to make that illegal.

That's a different conversation.

I agree, but it's not like using Meta is mandatory. You can decide not to use their services.

This price is absurd, sure. Even if I trusted Meta, there's no way I'm paying that.

Having said that, they can charge whatever they want for the service. As company, their prices are up them.

I don't get why you (no OP specifically, but in general) put it as if you must pay or give up your rights. We can just not use Meta, as many of us already been doing.

GDPR should be there to protect and enforce informed consent. Not to remove people's ability to decide.

Why sholuld we regulate Meta's prices and not whatever other suscription service exists out there?

I couldn't have said it better.

You have dictatorships you would not identify stereotypically as fascist, yet they silence anyone dangerous by calling them a fascist. Oldest trick in the book.

A very simple test: A f*ing fascist could use the same comic to justify repressing communists in a fascist regime. It just has to replace those "fascists" believes by communist ones.
