Aura Salla, a former Meta lobbyist and current Member of the European Parliament, faces scrutiny for her alignment with Big Tech interests as she advocates for less stringent regulations on AI and data use in Europe. Critics express concern that her background may compromise the integrity of EU tech policy, while Salla argues that her experience equips her to better understand and support European competitors against US giants. She emphasizes the need for a stable regulatory environment that fosters innovation rather than stifling it.
Meta has reduced subscription fees for its ad-free versions of Facebook and Instagram by 40% for EU users, lowering the monthly cost to €5.99 for desktop and €7.99 for mobile. Users can also access the platforms for free with less personalized ads based on minimal data points. This move aims to comply with EU regulatory demands following significant fines for data privacy violations.
Seems like the connection with the server has been lost. It can be due to poor or broken network. Please hang on while we're trying to reconnect...
Oh snap! Failed to reconnect with the server. This is typically caused by a longer network outage, or if the server has been taken down. You can try to reconnect, but if that does not work, you need to reload the page.
Oh man! The server rejected the attempt to reconnect. The only option now is to reload the page, but be prepared that it won't work, since this is typically caused by a failure on the server.
