The issue at hand isn't their recommender system for content, it's that they use the same recommender system for ads, which is apparently illegal in Norway.

As I understand it, it's legal to offer recommender systems for personalized content suggestions, but you cannot do the same for personalized ads.

which is apparently illegal in Norway.

In EU and areas that conform with the EU laws: EEA (which Norway is part of), Switzerland etc.

And for now presumably the UK, which still has GDPR in law.
