Fine should be larger. And more countries should join in.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Just getting a fine and making huge benefits so it is "worth" to keep doing? It should be banned because it keeps doing ilegal actions but since they have money they can do whatever they want
Do they really make a hundred grand a day in Norway though? It's not a big country.
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.
personalised ads mean tracking
And how has ad tracking personally harmed you or even inconvenienced you?
