#Facebook tries to go on processing «personal data unlawfully in violation of mentioned IE Decisions indefinitely. [...] However, compliance with legally binding orders is not a matter of negotiation. [...] The only way to ensure data subjects' rights and freedoms [...] is to urgently impose a temporary ban».

Using the recent #GDPR ruling by the #CJEU, Norway's DPA bans behavioural advertising by urgency procedure. EDPB can extend the order.

@noybeu Welcome again on the fediverse and thanks for bringing back #NOYB news here!

#GDPR #EUdataP #CJEU #privacy #surveillance

So, EU-US #DataTransfers were ruled to be illegal by the Court of Justice of the European Union (#CJEU).

TWICE.

Now #UrsulaVonDerLeyen and #JoeBiden have found a solution: just rename the existing agreement, make some cosmetical changes, then declare the problem to be solved. Done!

Shame on you, #EuropeanCommission! 😡

Not that I'm surprised. Business is simply more important to them than our #privacy. 😟

Keep fighting, @noybeu!

The European Commission is determined to turn the #GDPR and #EU #RuleOfLaw into a farce.
https://noyb.eu/en/european-commission-gives-eu-us-data-transfers-third-round-cjeu

Is there any useful precedent to sanction the EC for flouting #CJEU rulings? I can only think of T-329/17 (against EFSA) and C-121/21 (against Poland).

Preliminary injunctions to suspend or disapply a Commission Implementing Decision while waiting for a new CJEU preliminary ruling? Fines (paid to whom?)? Awards of legal costs to #NOYB including extrajudicial costs?

« @EU_Commission shows little care for rule of law and citizens' #privacy. This third attempt to pass largely the same unlawful decision also raises questions as to the larger role of the European Commission being the guardian of the #EU treaties. Instead of upholding the 'rule of law' the Commission simply passes an invalid decision over and over again, despite clear rulings by the #CJEU. » by @noybeu

Questione (tecnica) contro il capitalismo della sorveglianza

La storia:
- l'#Antitrust tedesca ha condannato #Meta per la raccolta massiva dei dati degli utenti

- Meta ha fatto ricorso sostenendo che la questione è di rilievo #Privacy

- Ora la Corte di giustizia europea (#CJEU, #CGEU) ha respinto l'appello di #Meta

- L'argomento è che la raccolta massiva di dati e la profilazione non è solo di rilievo #GDPR ma anche una limitazione della concorrenza da parte delle #Bigtech

EU-kommissionen stretar på med ett tredje godkännande av att låta USA-baserade bolag behandla våra personuppgifter.
Återstår att se om #NOYB och #Schrems kommer vinna även den här gången i #CJEU. De var iaf inte imponerade över de åtgärder som gjorts när första utkastet publicerades.

#Meta is having a very bad year. The latest decision (issued by the #CJEU yesterday in Meta Platforms Inc, et al., v. Bundeskartellamt, C-C252/21) adds to their woes, but more importantly, I anticipate it will force us all to re-evaluate #processing, #lawful bases, special category data, and #inferences derived from that data.

In my article, I explore the case in detail, as well as some hypotheses on the impact of this decision broadly to #BigTech, with examples.

But I'm curious to hear your thoughts and observations. Am I being a Cassandra? Overly pessimistic? Completely overthinking this? What implications am I missing?

I'll note here (even though I didn't mention it in the article) that this may also portend the effective death of the One Stop Shop mechanism, which is already on shaky ground after the whole spat between the #DPC and other regulators. Who needs Ireland if competition authorities can also raise issues under the GDPR?

One interesting thing about #Meta choosing to launch #Threads in the UK but not the EU is that, as yet, there is hardly any divergence between EU #GDPR and UK GDPR. Nor does either jurisdiction have an adequacy decision in place for transfers of data to US companies

Yesterday’s #CJEU ruling which specifically dealt with the legal basis for targeted advertising is not binding precedent in the UK, but it is persuasive precedent and the only precedent.

CJEU declares Meta/Facebook's GDPR approach largely illegal

"Instead of having a 'yes/no' option for personalized ads, they [Meta] just moved the consent clause in the terms and conditions. This is not just unfair but clearly illegal. We are not aware of any other company that has tried to ignore the GDPR in such an arrogant way."

For the #law nerds: here is the full text of the judgment by the #CJEU, which now goes back to the higher court in Düsseldorf who asked for this so they can continue with their case. https://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf;jsessionid=6D4956A884D430C86B150057F9E0321A?text=&docid=275125&pageIndex=0&doclang=EN&mode=req&dir=&occ=first&part=1&cid=80579

#EU ( #CJEU specifically) Not giving an inch to the ridiculous #antiprivacy arguments by #meta in their #GDPR lawsuit. Respect our laws, #meta, or get out. https://noyb.eu/en/cjeu-declares-metafacebooks-gdpr-approach-largely-illegal

#CJEU declares #Meta / #Facebook's #GDPR approach "largely illegal".

"Instead of having a 'yes/no' option for personalized ads, they just moved the consent clause in the terms and conditions. This is not just unfair but clearly illegal. We are not aware of any other company that has tried to ignore the GDPR in such an arrogant way."

#CJEU: Nope, Facebook/Meta. You actually need real consent from users. Your interpretation of the #GDPR doesn’t work. https://noyb.eu/en/cjeu-declares-metafacebooks-gdpr-approach-largely-illegal

🇬🇧 Disappointing #CJEU advocate general opinion validating the mandatory collection and storage of #fingerprints in ID cards. The Court should better protect citizens' right to privacy.
