noyb launches free tool for broad Facebook opt‑out under GDPR

The privacy NGO noyb released an online tool that lets users submit a broad objection to Meta’s processing of personal data for targeted advertising, which Meta bases on “legitimate interest”. The tool simplifies the GDPR right to object, shifting the burden to Meta to justify its interest within one month.

Why it matters: The tool enables EU users to effectively exercise their GDPR right to object to profiling and targeted ads.
