Meta/Facebook's approach to GDPR compliance is largely insufficient, according to a new ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union.

"Meta cannot simply bypass the GDPR with some paragraphs in its legal documents. This will mean that Meta has to seek proper consent and cannot use its dominant position to force people to agree to things they don't want."

I know next to nothing about California law, but it seems like this would be extremely aggressive towards what's essentially a huge industry in California. Privacy concerns also seem to me to be less important in the US - if anything there might be a preference for the storage of data due to stuff like the Patriot Act?
