Norway Took On Meta’s Surveillance Ads and Won::Meta has long fought Europe’s demands that it get people’s consent before using their data for targeted ads. Then a Norwegian regulator threatened fines of $100,000 per day.

Did they really “win” though? Now users are just going to have to look at crappy irrelevant ads.
I actually like FB/Insta ads. They’re products I actually want and sometimes buy. In fact sometimes when I’m looking for a product, I’ll Google for it without incognito mode, and waiting for the ads to show up. Creepy but somehow actually delivers better results than the actual Google search!
