"... the Norwegian ban on behavior-based marketing on #Facebook and #Instagram will become permanent and be extended to apply to the entire #EU/EEA."

This is huge.

I'm not so sure it's huge. It just means Meta will pull out of - or threaten to pull out of those countries until they change their laws to allow global data collection to continue unimpeded. Then they'll tighten the screws to generate more revenue from their other customers to keep the investors happy until the reluctant countries come around.

Just a simple business decision.

@J12t Do you know how binding an instruction is? Like, can Facebook still fight it in Ireland?

“The DPA's decision is an instruction to the Irish Data Protection Authority to impose a permanent ban on Meta's European headquarters in Ireland. Once this has happened, the ban will begin to apply.”
