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.
