The Norwegian Data Protection Authority has evaluated Facebook against the GDPR and found it incompatible.

Simply put, the creator and owner of a Facebook Page cannot guarantee what happens with the data of their followers.

As such, using Facebook would be unethical and against what the agency stands for.

The Norwegian Data Protection Authority decided to abandon Facebook and not have an official page on the world’s most popular and successful social media. The reason is it finds that continuing its use would be unethical and not in line with the obligations that stem from its very role in society.

Simply put, the organization cannot accept that those visiting its Facebook page and interacting with its posts have no idea what happens with their data, and the agency cannot answer any questions around that.

As the report details, the Norwegian Data Protection Authority has carried out a risk assessment on Facebook, so they didn’t just decide to reject the platform out of the blue.
The social media giant doesn’t provide adequate guarantees on its terms, and there are no concrete mechanisms that could be signs of “data protection by design and by default,” so the risks are evident.

Bjørn Erik Thon, the Data Protection Commissioner in Norway, stated that they were the first organization to carry out such a thorough assessment of Facebook Pages against the GDPR obligations.

Who could blame them. I don't care how 'popular' the raves make it out to be, criminals have long trashed it by making it their Walkie-Talkie and heaven knows the destruction AND disruption of people's lives that platform is been allowed to perpetrate on citizens.
