The "Task Force" now issued a first list of conclusions based on 's roughly 700 #cookiebanner complaints (noyb.eu/en/noyb-aims-e). On some issues there is still no 100% agreement, but what's there seems to support our push for "fair" banners! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

While we don't know the exact amount of 's EU revenue for behavioral ads, we have a good idea of the overall EU ads revenue. The chart shows how 4% #GDPR fines are inadequate to deal with #bigtech violations - and how the did not even use the (blue) maximum fine.

Letโ€™s talk about consent. Do you feel like you ever properly consented to being surveilled online constantly, having a profile built of your interests and having that profile made available to anyone who could pay for it? EU regulators donโ€™t think so either. /1

This is basically โ‚ฌ13.3 million per year for the processing without a legal basis under Article 6(1) GDPR for millions of European users. It is these "tricks" that make the DPC look extremely complicit over and over again! ๐Ÿ˜

..this likely amounts to millions or billions. All you would have to do is demand the numbers from Meta, or make an estimation if the they don't provide it. The DPC simply said "we don't know how to ask for the number" and set the fine at โ‚ฌ 60 million for the violation.. ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ

Quite amazing how staff tries to turn a win by into a "3-0" for Meta. Obviously this decision is full of reframing by the DPC, which was voted into the ground. Are you sure if you actually read the decision - or is this the new #IAPP spin?!๐Ÿ˜‰
Quote Tweet
The DPC's 'preliminary' and 'provisional' view was that Meta could depart from the general rule - i.e., the core service of Instagram is 'premised on' personalized ads = Meta could rely on performance of a contract . . . this COULD have made it 3-0 to @Meta vs @noyb

Another important clarification by the #CJEU, in a time where industry pays lawyers and "academics" to take apart every word in the #GDPR to undermine user rights! Contrary to many national courts, the CJEU has so far stuck with neutral/reasonable interpretations of #GDPR! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘
