Personalized Ads on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp Declared Illegal

The quoted WSJ article can be found here:

Great! Personalized ads are not just a data protection issue, they simply are not reaching the goal they intend to reach. Some stranger gives me a link to a tank video, something which does not at all interest me, but I visit the link once, because I do not know it is about tanks. Now I get ads related to tanks. facepalm

The people who make ads should simply add upvote/downvote buttons, and users can inspect the list of most upvoted/downvoted ads. Make it a fucking game, why is it so hard?

I‘m so happy to hear that! @Schrems and @noyb keep up the fight!

Substantial fine expected. EDPB has insisted on a massive fine for Meta. Meta has already been hit with more than € 1 billion in GDPR fines so far.
