I'm confused - where's the ban coming from? Here's an article from a Norwegian site and it doesn't mention anything about a ban, just the 1 mil kr fine per day and like, NRK is the government run news media here - I somewhat doubt that a government agency would give some American site that sort of news before their own national one
Also the Norwegian government is doing this because they believe that the Irish privacy board is being too slow and not strict enough in regards to Meta
The DPA has announced the temporary ban on their own website: https://www.datatilsynet.no/aktuelt/aktuelle-nyheter-2023/midlertidig-forbud-mot-adferdsbasert-markedsforing-pa-facebook-og-instagram/ The justification for the ban seems to be the new decision at the ECJ.
Would be interesting to be a fly on the wall in the coming meetings at EDPB.
It will be interesting to see the result of the EDPB meetings. This ban might get extended based on the results and Meta's actions.
