Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet) in 2023 has been very active in approach regulatory approach towards Meta, the parent company of both Facebook and Instagram. The latest development is that the Authority has decided to seek a binding decision of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), so that the processing of some personal data, which is temporarily prohibited in Norway, is made permanent, and extended throughout the entire EU/EEA.
In 2023, the Authority established that, in its view, Meta processed personal data for behavioural advertising in an unlawful way, and consequently imposed a ban on the unlawful processing of personal data by the company.
In response, Meta, did not changes its practices of data processing, and did not comply with the decision of the Authority.
