🚨 The EDPB has just issued an urgent binding decision banning Meta from processing personal data for behavioral advertising across the EU/EEA!

edpb.europa.eu/system/files/20

@noybeu 19 years of processing and the edpb issues an "urgent" binding decision 😅

Ohh the irony. 😹

A look in the future

6 Dezember 2057: EDPB issues urgent binding decision on OpenAI regarding training of their large language model after urgent preliminary order of the Liechtenstein DPA. #BestRuleOfLawMoneyCanBuy

@ManTechnologist @noybeu No irony here.

The EDPB only exists since 2018.

And literally, the GDPR by default assigns the responsibility to one national DPA (where the company is HQ-ed, in this case, as so often in Ireland) as leading DPA.

But the Irish DPA tried their usual game of delaying procedures, and this time the EDPB decided they had it with them, and issued the decision instead of the national DPA, seems that's possible in this case.

@ManTechnologist @noybeu The Irish DPA has been in the past known for being very corporation friendly, and one of the games they like to play is to slow down processing of complaints into ridiculous timeframes. It's so bad, that they been kicked in their posterior by Irish courts for it already.

@noybeu I like how they shut down the "legitimate interest" claim

@noybeu interesting that Facebook seem to have done everything to avoid relying on GDPR 6 1(a) - consent from the user - and their extensive efforts of justification have sought to avoid relying on consent such as "legitimate interest".

@noybeu would that mean that the only way Meta (and in future other subjects) will have to target users is to explicitly ask what they are interested in?
