    Am I missing something? Norway is not part of the EU and therefore Facebook does not have to apply EU regulations to their products for Norway customers. How does Norway handle those things in general? Does Norway apply a lot of Regulations (for example) for Pesticides and Environmental Regulation mostly verbatim to their own code shortly after the EU or do you have debates/votes/referendums regarding those topics in your own political spheres? I know that Norway is very far ahead when it comes to securing their environmental treasures. But I have no idea if or how Norway applies for advancements in customer protection regulations like the GDPR* and such


    EDIT:

    • I just notice on the GDPR Wiki Page that while the EU adopted the GDPR regulation in 2016, apparently in this case Norway also applied it 2 years later.

    20 July 2018: the GDPR became valid in the EEA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway),[142] after the EEA Joint Committee and the three countries agreed to follow the regulation.

    So, I do not know why Facebook is showing you Ads that sound like they break the EEA GDPR. Maybe you should report this to your local/national data security office or customer protection office.
