Basically seems like: If your site's main source of revenue is personalized ads you can't use that as an excuse to automatically opt users in to personalized ads in Europe. A big "NO" to a claim that a lot of businesses have been operating under for GDPR.

This means that Meta MUST allow European users a version of its platform that *does not have* personalized advertising. This is a big problem for the economics of how Facebook's ad inventory works and is priced.

If your business is behavioral advertising, esp at scale, in the EU, then you should take this as a sign that the EU doesn't really believe your business should exist. This seems to me to be the direction of European regulations and we should likely consider it as predictive.

This is another big thing to note: Facebook's data is all *first party*. This isn't a first vs third vs second party distinction. The thing that the EU has recognized as a problem and is interested in resolving isn't data sharing or data sale -- it's personalized advertising.

Yes, to be clear, this specific decision is about dumping a consent requirement into a contract like a ToS. alextcone/1600248824160665600

I suspect this means a bunch of products that do tracking that have a 'use this and consent to tracking' note or sticker (like the Roomba example below) are going to have to figure out some different processes in the EU/EEA. Chronotope/1553459733566291969
