German court rules Meta tracking technology violates European privacy laws

@glynmoody thank you for sharing this

‘Every user is individually identifiable to Meta at all times as soon as they visit the third-party websites or use an app, even if they have not logged in via the Instagram and Facebook account," the press release said. 
Meta “massively violates” European data protection law by processing personal data to “profile” Facebook users, yielding the tech giant billions in profits, the release said.’
