The order on July 14 by the Norwegian Data Protection Authority imposes a country-wide three-month ban on personalized and behavioral ad targeting against Meta, starting August 2023. This means advertisers may see higher costs and lower relevance.

Although Norway is the first country to enact an order like this, there could be others to follow suit. These rulings and bans may set the stage for other forced changes in a world of complex and ever-changing privacy regulations.

Given that they make >$30B a quarter in revenue, probably not. They probably count the fine of $100k/day as a cost of doing business.

Another option occurs to me: maybe Norway knows Facebook won't care and just smells a way to make an easy $9,000,000. 😁
