Meta's paid ad-free subscription service in Europe faced a challenge as advocacy groups filed complaints with Austrian and EU regulators, alleging breaches of consumer laws. The service, part of Meta's expansion plans, has been criticized by European consumer groups and privacy campaigners, who branded it as unfair and illegal. The complaints highlight the ongoing tensions between tech companies and privacy advocates in the EU, with the GDPR being a central reference point in discussions about digital privacy and consumer rights.
