[admin]

A Dutch court hearing a class action lawsuit on Wednesday found that the European subsidiary of Meta, Facebook Ireland, improperly used personal data of Dutch citizens between 2010 and 2020, saying the company had "violated the law". "Personal information was processed for the purposes of advertising when in this case that is not allowed," a summary of the court ruling said. "Personal information was given to third parties without Facebook users being informed and without there being a legal basis to do so."
