If they do not track me, and offer iron-clad, actionable guarantees for violations, I might consider it.

If I had the option I might pay for no ads.. but then I would probably want a new tab or icon or something where I could watch a feed of just ads on occasion.<p>If I was a premium subscriber I&#x27;d want more control over turning off certain types of ads from the feed..<p>But I actually find the ads in my feed more interesting than the &#x27;non-ads&#x27; - 9 scrolls out of 10... and I find interesting products&#x2F;services I would not find otherwise..<p>I would love to separate the ads from the main feed, and of course add my own weights to the feed algo -<p>I&#x27;m sure all this is partially because I don&#x27;t find my fbook friends posts interesting at all 99% of time, and since I make ads, I like to see how other people make ads - so outlier I&#x27;m sure

Not that I care much about Meta or other Socials, but would they also stop data collection and tracking for paying customers?

So do I then get a chronological timeline of the people I actually follow or will they still force their curated stream down my throat?<p>Basically the same as advertising IMO...

<i>” Max Schrems, Chair of noyb: &quot;The first announcement already seems questionable, as Meta says that you cannot opt-out from having your location or age be used. Also having unskippable ads and making the user experience just miserable is just another &#x27;dark pattern&#x27; that Regulators have already previously found to be illegal. We doubt that this will be the end of the problems that Meta faces when ignoring the GDPR.”</i> :<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mastodon.social&#x2F;@noybeu&#x2F;113470466853941002" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mastodon.social&#x2F;@noybeu&#x2F;113470466853941002</a>
