When I logged on to Facebook today, I had a message from META- giving me two choices. Either I agree to pay and subscribe for usage without any ads, or agree to any ads they want to send me.

So for now have decided to just not use the site any more. What will you do?

Only issue is that I have many photos on that site I would like to retrieve.

No, I haven't had that. Could it be a scam?

It isn’t a scam, I’ll suffer the ads.

Finally! A benefit of Brexit!

This only applies to the EU, EEA and Switzerland.

LOL growstuff- at last, Yipeeee.

I have an ad blocker, so didn't get adverts on my FB page before.

If it's for Meta, surely WhatsApp would show this, too. I didn't get it (I live in the EU too)

The announcement only mentions Facebook and Instagram.
