Court sides with Norwegian regulator’s $100K daily fine imposed on Meta over ad privacy concerns

Meta lost a legal battle Wednesday to halt a Norwegian ban on its advertising practices that came with hefty daily fines, in a blow to the U.S. social media giant’s business model. Such practices without adequate consent violate user privacy and are illegal, Datatilsynet said, adding that the ban was set to last for three months or until Meta's complies with the law.
