Norway's DPA reviewing Meta's ad-free subscription model

Norway's data protection authority, Datatilsynet, said it is taking part in a review at the "European level" of Meta's ad-free subscription model for EU users to address alleged targeted advertising infringements under the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Datatilsynet said EU data protection authorities "have expressed skepticism" over Meta's compliance "partly because you have to pay if you do not 'consent.'" Meanwhile, Denmark's Agency for Digitalization, Digitaliseringsstyrelsen, issued third-party cookie compliance orders to Meta and Google that must be met in four weeks.
