   Huge win for privacy: Facebook tracking is illegal in Europe!

   EU privacy regulators say Facebook and Instagram must not force users to agree to tracking by putting this requirement into their terms. In the future, Facebook must add a clear Yes & No option through which you can accept being tracked - or deny it! #Fight4Privacy ?

     That's worthless. FB still collects everything about you like your real name, what pages you visit (like buttons), your messages, photos, etc.
     
     The only way to stop facebook tracking is to leave facebook and block the like buttons in uMatrix or such.
     
     Also, the only punishment for violating this is a fine, which big corporations don't care about.

     And you think the courts have time to evaluate the case of every user? No, the corporations will take the relatively rare and tiny fines on the chin as they always do.

     Okay, tell me when that happens then.

     I agree to the first part, deleted my account years ago.

     Max GDPR fine is 20 Million EUR. Per case. Each user is a case.

     764 M - Amazon in Luxembourg
     225 M - WhatsApp in Ireland
     90 M - Google in France

     When it’s in the billions, they do care, trust me. And no, it’s not the only punishment. If they don’t comply they must not operate their shit in EU any more.
