For what is worth, I think Meta is lying about it, or at least playing the victim card too strongly.

> They’re demanding that Meta provide free full services without personalized ads or a monthly fee for users.

Meta is being sued because their paid plan is not honest - they are currently asking for 10€/month which is disproportionate - for comparison, a Business Standard Google Workspace account with 2Tb and Gemini costs 11€. From [1], "EU law requires that consent is the genuine free will of the user. Contrary to this law, Meta charges a 'privacy fee' of up to €250 per year if anyone dares to exercise their fundamental right to data protection".
