Awful to see our personal privacy and social lives being ransomed like this. €10 seems like a price gouge for a social media site, and I’m even seeing a price tag of 150SEK (~€15) In Sweden.

    This isn’t really relevant for end users. It’s a monthly fee for companies and public organizations, so they can check the box on a separate set of AGB’s that technically satisfy their compliance requirements.

      I can’t access Instagram unless I agree to the new rules so yes it does affect end users.

        What happens to my data if I just leave it like that? Can facebook use it or not?

          Instagram doesn’t let you continue unless you choose one of the options.

            Same with Facebook, so if I don’t continue and just stop using it now, what about my data?

            I assume they can’t use it without my explicit consent, but I don’t know.

              Legally they can’t, in reality they probably do. Hell, already did since signing up.

          I’ve no idea I haven’t gone back on but I’d like to download all my info and delete… Can’t get back in though. The access they want to your device is too much, they keep access even if you delete the app
