Meta Tests 'Instagram Plus' Subscription With New Features Like Viewing Stories Secretly and More
Meta is testing a premium 'Instagram Plus' subscription tier that includes features like secretly viewing Instagram Stories without notifying the account owner. This feature, if misused, could enable stalking, harassment, or privacy violations for users who are unaware their content is being accessed. The subscription model may normalize covert surveillance practices, raising ethical and security concerns.
