EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy: Platforms should not confront users with 'binary choice' over personal data use
theregister.com/2024/04/18/eu_meta_subscription_privacy/
Quick Glance: EU instructs Meta against paywalling privacy
- The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has clarified that large online platforms should not offer users a choice between paying for a service and consenting to the use of their personal data for targeted advertising.
- In an EDPB opinion published yesterday, the discussion revolves around the validity of processing personal data for behavioral advertising in the context of 'consent or pay' models introduced by Meta.
- According to the EDPB, it is generally not compliant with legal requirements for valid consent when users are only given the option to consent to the processing of personal data for advertising purposes or pay a fee.
- Meta is expected to maintain collaboration with the Irish Data Protection Commission, the primary regulatory authority in the EU. The opinion is projected to have no impact on Meta's services.

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation
- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.
- Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.
- Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.
- Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

Quick Glance: S&P 500: Potential Downside Risk with Nasdaq 100 in Peril (Technical Analysis)
- The S&P 500 may be facing potential downside risk, with a deep decline possibly unfolding in stages, with the Nasdaq 100 potentially being the last to be affected.
- In the era of 'buying the dip,' there is a chance that a decline could occur gradually or swiftly, or it could even be a false alarm.
- As a risk manager, it is more important to assess the risks of different market segments and position accordingly, rather than speculate on market movements.
- The primary goal is to avoid being affected by market-changing sell-offs, and adjusting the portfolio to address the current market risks is crucial.
