What if we paid for Facebook – instead of letting it spy on us for free?

Wasn&#x27;t there already an attempt at this? app.net ?<p>I&#x27;m sure a sizeable chunk of Facebook&#x27;s user base would not be willing to pay <i>any</i> amount.<p>Take for example: an in-law, who uses Facebook to &quot;store her photos&quot; because paying (the equivalent of) $0.99 a month for more iCloud storage space, is not something even within the realm of possibility.
