On meta’s while it is flagrant screw you, they may have a valid argument. Human beings don’t actually need any kind of social media to survive, ergo it is a convenience or luxury that could be charged for.

You absolutely can charge for social media, just not the way Facebook does. They're not charging for the service, just for not spying on you, which is illegal under GDPR.
