  • Meta could offer subscription versions of Instagram and Facebook in Europe.
  • Ad-free tiers would cost $10.50 on desktop and $14 on mobile, according to the Wall Street Journal. 
  • The company is attempting to comply with an EU crackdown on personalized advertising.

Meta has a new plan to navigate the European Union's tough new ad privacy rules – charge users $14 a month.

The tech giant is considering getting customers in Europe to pay monthly subscription fees to use Instagram and Facebook if they don't agree to let Meta use their data to serve them ads, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.

Users who pay the subscription fee will be able to use Meta's products without ads.
