    I don't see why.

    Facebook was already going to make $14/mo or whatever from ads. The EU just required that people who'd rather pay than watch ads have the option to do so.

    I mean, it's just a new option. It isn't gonna make stuff worse.

    Now, one might not want to use Facebook in the first place -- I don't use Facebook -- but among those who do, some portion of people who would rather pay than look at ads have an alternative.
