Are you kidding me, dude? Lovdata.no is literally the official source of Norwegian law.

So which part says they cannot scan your machine? I seem to be missing that part, all you talk about is the legal rights yet they are not there.
Actually it supports Blizzards side about 38b sub 7. They inform you about the ability to interact with your software and hardware.
Use a translator. I gave you the applicable law. It matters little to me that some random stranger on the internet believes me or not. In the real life this is what matters.
Iâve touched on this previously, but Blizzard are within their rights to monitor parts that are directly related to their software, the connection to their servers and the files themselves installed on your PC. However, that does not give them free reign to scan your hardware or software looking for whatever that might be against their TOS.
Iâll give you an example. There are many uses for the AutoHotKey program, many who are extremely useful in a work environment. Banning people for using the program itself would make little sense and likely lead to law suits.
However, if they instead were seeing a pattern of behavior (such as bots farming herbs or whatever), they can check the inputs done while the game client is running and compare that to previous inputs. They cannot determine based on that alone that the input came from AutoHotKey or a macro, no matter if those programs are installed on a system.
Memory injections of dll-files or scripts to force certain behavior with the game is obviously bannable, as it interferes directly with the domain Blizzard have the right to monitor. That said they can only monitor traffic for certain ports on your network, while the software is running. Anything beyond that is a massive breach of GDPR.
You are wrong, using macros to control your character is against the thing you agree to and you have not proven that monitoring your computers process and active programs is against the law in your country.
Also you know recently Blizzard banned the use of Multiboxing software?
Theyâre not banning the software, but the action of sending the same key press to multiple instances of wow.exe at the same time, which is easily detectable within their domain. They rely on player reports for this primarily and cannot detect the software used outside of WoW or Battle.net.

Thereâs a lot of controversy surrounding the software they use for monitoring, as you can read for yourself.
You claim that using macros to control your character is against TOS. That depends on the extent of the macro. If youâre talking about fully automating player actions, then I suppose you can argue that itâs the same as botting and therefore bannable. If youâre using a macro to sequence spells or abilities, then there is really nothing different from using a in-game macro with a /castsequence prefix.
Iâm frankly getting bored with discussing this topic with you, because no matter what I link you of facts, you just reply with âyouâre wrongâ without offering any counterpoints whatsoever. Read through my posts, translate what you need to, check with others as well, but understand that youâre either misunderstanding what Iâm saying on purpose, are trolling or simply do not have a good enough understanding of the subject matter.
Have a nice day.

Actually they did ban the use of the software. You seem to be a bit behind the times. It cannot even be used to open multiple windows.
It is, the extent of the external macro is not applicable.
That is wrong too. The rule is one button press per action, yes, some things that are off the global cooldown can be put into a macro and a cast sequence macro involves a press of a button progressing though to the next spell/action. An external macro that say casts Frostbolt then casts Firebolt in one press is against the botting rules. Internal macros, without castsequence cannot do this.
