This is very interesting because I had a chat with the Irish DPC last week about my complaints against Meta and Youtube in relation to "Pay or OK" and unlawful detection of adblockers.
Irish DPC informed me that they were waiting on their own action until the #EDPB had concluded their ongoing investigation.
Today Meta removes the paywall on Facebook - which, would seem to indicate that there is an incoming enforcement action from the EDPB - I see no other reason why Meta would back down.
