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.

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.
