      No, it’s a punitive fee.

      If you need to use facebook for whatever reason, but refuse to opt in to targeted ads, we will punish you with this fee.

        I’d maybe be willing to pay $12-15 per annum for no user tracking. But that price per month is a joke. They just want to deter people from paying by offering an inflated price, so they can turn around in a few months and argue there is no demand for it.

          Facebook obviously makes more the 12 to 15 dollars per year per user on ads.
