Interesting that ICCL didn't link the actual press release.

Press release from Belgian Data Protection Authority:

IAB response post:

lol at IAB's choice of headline: "Belgian Market Court Confirms Limited Role of IAB Europe In The TCF"

IAB was on the hook for the dreadful cookie "consent" popups that ruined the web (no, it wasn't GDPR that ruined it, it was a very deliberate action by "industry groups" like IAB).

The only reason the Market Court annulled the previous decision was on procedural grounds, while agreeing that IAB is responsible, and keeping the 250 000 EUR fine in place.

Too bad. I wish Market Court would've burned IAB to the ground, salted the earth and scattered the ashes.
