I think Facebook lost a similar lawsuit recently where you had to accept that they can use your data or pay to access the site. And it was found illegal in the EU.

The problem is that it takes years and users don't wait for years. There should be a way to harm these companies more on the EU level.

I'm in Norway, and I never consented in that dialog box, so my Facebook account is in limbo. The dialog still appears when I go to Facebook, years later, so I don't think anything has changed?

Perhaps Norway didn't get included? I know GDPR does apply to Norway, but perhaps the legal basis was in another law that didn't transfer to the EEA area?

I don't use Facebook myself anymore so I can't check.

They can get fined for up to 2 or 4% of their global annual revenue depending on the violation severity.
