The European Data Protection Board released its binding decisions on the legal basis used by Meta's Facebook and Instagram for processing data for personalized advertising. The decisions were adopted under the EU General Data Protection Regulation's Article 65 following two dispute resolution procedures triggered by Ireland's Data Protection Commission. EDPB Chair Andrea Jelinek said the decisions "clarify that Meta unlawfully processed personal data for behavioural advertising," adding the decisions "may also have an important impact on other platforms that have behavioural ads at the centre of their business model." Editor's note: The EDPB published guidelines on lawfulness of processing personal data under the GDPR and an FAQ on Article 65.
