it’s nice to not see megacorps constantly railing the law
There's no way Meta will not appeal. I'm sure it'll end up in our supreme courts eventually.
Yeah, it is expected that they will appeal, but it's still an important signal from the courts.
A decade late imo, but at least something is finally happening.
This was the appeal. They lost
It was the appeal to the original fine by the DPA, but they can (and probably will) still appeal to higher courts.
I love that the picture they used is a phone with an UI like Windows Phone.
I'm all for consequences towards megacorps. Especially in my own country.
The cookie popup does not have on/off, allow/disallow, yes/no options for cookie settings. It has Av/Pa. Not sure which was which I looked up what av and pa mean in Norwegian. So...the options are of/on?!
Think of it as Av, as in Aff, as in Off. Pa is "on".
Takk skal du ha
I was just glad to be confused in another language instead of confused in my native 'Mericanese. ;)
Haha, they forgot to translate the silly toggle control.
In any case the default is off, which makes it one of the extremely few cookie banners on Norwegian sites that are actually GDPR compliant...
