Anu Talus, who succeeded Andrea Jelinek to become the second chair of the European Data Protection Board in May, hopes to build on Jelinek\u2019s work as she focuses on making GDPR enforcement more coherent, efficient and harmonized across the bloc\u2019s member states. In an extended conversation with MLex on the sidelines of the Global Privacy Assembly meetings this year, Talus discussed issues ranging from the EDPB\u2019s highly unusual step of making permanent and EU-wide a temporary Norwegian ban on Meta Platforms targeting users with behavioral-based ads without their consent issued under the GDPR\u2019s urgency procedure, to how she entered the data protection field years ago.
