On 8 Jan 2024, Meta Ireland (Facebook) submitted the case against the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), regarding the latter’s Urgent Binding Decision 01/2023 at the request of the Norwegian supervisory authority (Datatilsynet) of 27 October 2023 in respect of processing personal data for behavioural advertising purposes by Meta. The platform brought the allegations of excess of the EDPB’s competence under art. 66 the GDPR and its obligation to respect the right to “good administration” according to art. 41 the EU Charter. Furthermore, the company also claimed that art. 66(2) GDPR unlawful and invalid in accordance with art. 41, 47 the EU Charter, art. 6 the EU Convention of Human Rights. This will be the rare case that the duty of the EU authorities of “good administration” is challenged. What a bold move by Meta!
