The EDPB issued an urgent binding decision that essentially bans Meta from using personal data for behavioral advertising in the entire European Economic Area (EEA).

No, the article is just regurgitating old news and the old misleading claim (omitting the critical part that they're only banned from using data "on the basis of contract and legitimate interest").

This "news" is what made Facebook start with the "agree or pay" bullshit.

Weird. The article does have today's date but only mentions the Nov 10 decision. I think maybe what happened today is the publication of the full text of the decision?
