Disqus facing $3M fine in Norway for tracking users without consent
Disqus, a commenting plug-in that’s used by a number of news websites and which can share user data for ad targeting purposes, is in hot water in Norway for tracking users without their consent.
The local data protection agency said today it has notified the U.S.-based company of an intent to fine it €2.5 million (~$3 million) for failures to comply with requirements in Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on accountability, lawfulness and transparency.
