Sadly the EDPB's final GDPR-DSA interplay guidelines say nothing about Recital 68 DSA stating, in no uncertain terms, that consent must be obtained for the processing of personal data for the purpose of ad targeting. Missed opportunity IMO.

⚖️ The EDPB's new fining guidelines turn on one word: minor. A minor infringement generally draws a reprimand. Everything else carries a strong presumption of a fine. Would your last incident qualify? 👉 #FuturePrep #GDPR

Having now read the judgement I think it is a rather game changer judgement, but also a welcome judgement. EDPB’s decisions should be up to a challenge before a court. It is to be seen whether and ti what extent will this judgement open flood gates

Always a pleasure to chat with @sergiomaldo.bsky.social.
We discussed the EDPB's somewhat over-optimistic subprocessor guidelines, Meta's latest consent-or-pay botch-job, and how (if at all) adtech regulation compares to the war on drugs.
I engage in some pretty sickening hand-wringing centrism.

How far should we take third-party vendor audits for embedded subprocessors? Does Meta's new choice (Consent, Pay or Wait) make the #EDPB happy? @robertjbateman.bsky.social joined us again to address both topics.
