      Facebook somehow makes about $18 per person on the planet in ad revenue.

      Norway is 5 million people or $90 million/year all else being equal.

      $100k/day is $36.5 million/year.

      So, it’s less than it should be by probably a factor of 4-5, but still not so small they won’t feel it

    From the linked techcrunch article:

    unless it obtains users’ consent to the processing

    From the order itself:

    The order applies from 4 August 2023
    we may decide to impose a coercive fine of up to NOK 1 000 000 (one million) per day

    Misleading title.

      unless it obtains users’ consent to the processing

      “Do you consent to the processing?”

      ‘No, I do not consent’

      “Wait, I CONSENT! Please, take all my data! Take all the data of my entire family and everyone I’ve ever associated with online! ANYTHING but suspend the account. PLEASE!”

      Nah. I would hate to live in a country that bans personalized ads. It would be like living in the 90s watching cable TV seeing completely irrelevant tampon and baby ads as a single dude.

      Personalized ads are much less annoying than the “spray-and-pray” noise we used to deal with.
