The European Court of Justice ruled that Meta Platforms (Facebook) must limit personal data use for targeted ads.

The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that Meta Platforms (Facebook's parent) must restrict the use of personal data for targeted advertising. This decision supports privacy activist Max Schrems, who argued he was targeted based on his sexual orientation. The ruling emphasizes the GDPR's principle of data minimization, stating that personal data cannot be used for advertising without limitations. Meta awaits the full judgment and asserts its commitment to privacy.
