The move aims to comply with upcoming EU privacy regulations limiting targeted advertising. ## Subscription No Ads Service According to a [Wall Street Journal report](https://www.wsj.com/tech/meta-floats-charging-14-a-month-for-ad-free-instagram-or-facebook-5dbaf4d5), Meta's proposed service is named "subscription no ads" (SNA) and would cost approximately $14 per month on mobile and up to $17 on desktop. The hefty subscription fee underscores Meta's reluctance to lose advertising revenue from European markets. But regulators may push back and request a cheaper offering for users unwilling to share personal data for targeted ads. ## Navigating New EU Privacy Rules The SNA proposal is Meta's attempt to navigate stringent new [EU data privacy regulations](https://www.hireawriter.us/business/gdprs-impact-on-email-marketing-what-you-need-to-know) set to take effect. The rules require explicit user consent to enable targeted advertising. By offering a paid ad-free option, Meta hopes to retain access to user data for targeting ads to those not subscribed. But regulators are still reviewing if this approach sufficiently upholds privacy standards. ## No Current Plans for Ads-Free Service in the US Since the EU regulations don't apply in the US, Meta has indicated no plans to roll out a paid ad-free service domestically. However, Meta does offer the Meta Verified subscription in the US, granting blue verification badges on Instagram and Facebook for $12-$15 per month. As Meta weighs paid models in the EU, it continues facing regulatory scrutiny over its advertising-based business model. How it balances revenue generation and user privacy will remain an ongoing challenge. - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![News on Ad-Free Meta and TikTok](https://www.hireawriter.us/hubfs/HAW%20blog%20-%202023-11-06T122028.201.png)](https://www.hireawriter.us/social/news-on-ad-free-meta-and-tiktok) 1 min read #### [News on Ad-Free Meta and TikTok](https://www.hireawriter.us/social/news-on-ad-free-meta-and-tiktok) ![Picture of Writing Team](https://www.hireawriter.us/hs-fs/hubfs/HAW%20Logo%20T%20%26%20White%20square-3.png?width=30&name=HAW%20Logo%20T%20%26%20White%20square-3.png) [Writing Team](https://www.hireawriter.us/social/author/writing-team) : Nov 6, 2023, 12:23:45 PM As marketers are becoming increasingly optimistic about their social media strategies, the digital advertising market in 2023 is on the path to...
