Meta is considering offering paid versions of Instagram and Facebook in Europe. Meanwhile, the EU is promoting EU Voice and EU Video as alternative social networks.

Instagram is probably the social network of the moment. In fact, it is one of the most effective platforms for business communication, as we have already mentioned in EMPRENDEDORES .

However, in the coming months we could see a move that raises some uncertainty, as Meta is studying the option of offering a subscription plan to Instagram or Facebook users in Europe, allowing them to remove ads on these social networks with this premium version .


This is the alternative that the group led by Mark Zuckerberg is considering in response to the personal data protection policies of the European Union (EU), according to The New York Times .

It should be noted that Meta has had to face two major sanctions this year. On the one hand, the Irish data protection authority fined it 1.2 billion euros for sending data on European users to the United States .

A year earlier, the group had already threatened to stop offering access to Instagram and Facebook from Europe if it was not allowed to transfer, store and process data from its European users on its servers in the United States, as reported by Silicon.es .

Shortly before, the European Data Protection Committee accused the company of having collected personal data from Facebook and Instagram users without their consent , in order to offer personalized ads . The fine in this case was 390 million euros .
