    As a user living in Norway, I can say that nothing has changed yet and Meta still does whatever the fuck they want. I use it Facebook from time to time and Facebook still shows me ads related to what I do in an out of Facebook. Even when I use adblockers in all my devices and alternative search engines like Duckduckgo or Ecosia, they still know what are my new interests in and out of facebook and keep showing me personalized ads. I even disabled within facebook to track me outside of facebook. Nothing works for them.

      From the article: “Recently, Meta told EU regulators that making this change represented a “significant hurdle” for Meta and noted that it will “require at least three months to implement,” the WSJ reported. That’s why it seems like making the update by the end of October might be an ambitious deadline.”

      Looks, like EU gave them a deadline for end of October to implement the change.

      The offsite tracking is really bad. Best we can do is report to Datatilsynet.
