Instagram and Facebook’s targeted ads face Norwegian crackdown.

After Meta was fined in the EU over its handling of user data in January, Norway plans to ban the company from showing users in the country personalized ads based on their online activity, Politico reports.

The ban will run for three months from August 4th, and Meta faces a fine of up to 1 million Norwegian Krone (around $99,680) for each day it doesn’t comply.
