noyb win: Personalized Ads on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp declared illegal
As reported by The Wall Street Journal (https://www.wsj.com/articles/metas-targeted-ad-model-faces-restrictions-in-e...), the EDPB has decided that Meta cannot force users to agree to personalized ads. In May 2018, when the GDPR came into force in the EU, Meta Ireland Ltd. believed it could "bypass" the requirement to get opt-in consent from users, by simply adding a provision in the terms and conditions. On 25 May 2018, the digital rights organization noyb filed complaints with the relevant Data Protection Authorities (DPAs). Now, 4.5 years later, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) found Meta's alleged "bypass" of the GDPR illegal. The EDPB also rejected the view of the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) who previously sided with Meta, after taking four years to investigate the case. https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-win-personalized-ads-facebook-instagram-and-whatsapp... -- -- EN https://www.hoepli.it/libro/la-rivoluzione-informatica/9788896069516.html ====================================================== Prof. Enrico Nardelli Presidente di "Informatics Europe" Direttore del Laboratorio Nazionale "Informatica e Scuola" del CINI Dipartimento di Matematica - Università di Roma "Tor Vergata" Via della Ricerca Scientifica snc - 00133 Roma home page: https://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~nardelli blog: https://link-and-think.blogspot.it/ tel: +39 06 7259.4204 fax: +39 06 7259.4699 mobile: +39 335 590.2331 e-mail: nardelli@mat.uniroma2.it online meeting: https://blue.meet.garr.it/b/enr-y7f-t0q-ont ====================================================== --

Il problema di questa notizia e' che manca un qualche riferimento ufficiale. Sto monitorando attentamente svariate fonti ma... finora, nessuna traccia. Nell'articolo su noyb.eu leggo: "The EDPB decision itself was not published, but will be published together with the final decision of the DPC in January 2023." Per l'ufficialità, insomma... c'e' da aspettare un po'.

Da TechCrunch [1] "In line with Art. 65 (5) GDPR, we cannot comment on the content of the decisions until after the Irish DPC has notified the controller of its final decisions," she told TechCrunch. "As indicated in our press release [2], the EDPB looked into whether or not the processing of personal data for the performance of a contract is a suitable legal basis for behavioural advertising, but at this point in time we cannot confirm what the EDPB’s decision in this matter was". The DPC also declined to comment on the newspaper’s report — but deputy commissioner Graham Doyle confirmed to us that it will announce binding decisions on these complaints in early January. We’ve also reached out to Meta for a response to the development. A Meta spokesperson sent this statement: "This is not the final decision and it is too early to speculate. GDPR allows for a range of legal bases under which data can be processed, beyond consent or performance of a contract. Under the GDPR there is no hierarchy between these legal bases, and none should be considered better than any other. We’ve engaged fully with the DPC on their inquiries and will continue to engage with them as they finalise their decision." The company was recently spotted in a filing setting aside €3 billion for data protection fines in 2022 and 2023 — a large chunk of which has yet to land. A.
