Amsterdam court, Austrian DPA rule on Facebook data use, tracking

The Amsterdam District Court ruled Facebook Ireland processed Dutch users' personal data for advertising purposes without a legal basis and provided users' data to third parties without proper notification from 2010-2020. The court said "no compensation could be claimed in these proceedings." In response to a complaint by privacy advocacy group NOYB, Austria's Data Protection Authority found Facebook's tracking pixel in violation of the EU General Data Protection Regulation. No penalty was issued by the DPA.
