- Vice Mayor Julie Remen Midtgarden criticizes Meta's product for making it impossible to know when being filmed, calling it a data collection tool.
- She refuses to let children become extras in Meta's data collection and criticizes the government for studying the issue instead of taking immediate action.

- The ban took effect on August 27, but the announcement was delayed until Thursday due to the political truce following King Harald V's death.
