Awful to see our personal privacy and social lives being ransomed like this. €10 seems like a price gouge for a social media site, and I'm even seeing a price tag of 150SEK (~€15) In Sweden.

I agree. I'm myself part of a minority and social media are great to find a community and exchange with people of this community.

My comment was about the post speaking about Meta. My go to for a safe space is now Mastodon which I don't consider as a company. We can always change instance or build our own. This is really different from other social media.
