Norway is not the first. The French DPA have banned using GA for months now.

- eastbound 4y agoWhat can’t the EU just attack Google itself and for the 4% fine? See, I get that it’s companies who shouldn’t put GA on their website, but it’s not a practically navigable response: - As a startup, - All marketing agencies start with nonchalantly setting up GA, - All marketing agencies know nothing else and deny that GA is illegal. Even if I know better, GA is THE standard. So, EU can attack every single company in Europe, as the data controller, and enforce law as it technically is, but that still doesn’t provide consumer protection. And in the end, it’s Google who’s sending the data to the US. Why can’t Google be attacked, not on behalf of being a data processor or data controller, but on the very initial crime of sending data to the US without permission?
- di4na 4y agoBecause they make you sign a contract when using GA that ask you to swear you are only going to use it to send data you are allowed to send to the US. To attack Google, you would need someone to use GA without agreeing to it, which is not possible.
