The social media group Meta must improve its ad-free but paid offering for Facebook and Instagram. The North Rhine-Westphalia consumer advice center has obtained an interim injunction because users were not sufficiently informed about their obligation to pay.
Meta emphasized to SPIEGEL that it was only a small matter: the ruling only concerns "very specific aspects of German consumer law" The company gives members the opportunity to object to data processing, but they have to pay 10 euros or 13 euros per month.
