In Spain it was explicitly ruled to be legal. Ughhhhhhhhhh

Wait, surely if the ruling in the article was made at a central EU court, and it pertains to an EU law, then it would supersede the Spanish ruling?

Edit:

The commission must finish its investigation by the end of March next year and Meta faces a fine of up to 10% of global turnover – equivalent to $13.5bn (£10.5bn) – if it is deemed to have breached the act.

Probably?
