The European Court of Justice said competition watchdogs can consider whether companies like Facebook comply with the continent’s strict privacy rules
The court ruled that antitrust authorities can take into account any violations of data privacy rules as they investigate whether tech giants are abusing their dominance in the market by boxing out competitors.
Meta, which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp, appealed that finding, which led German authorities to seek an opinion from the Court of Justice, the 27-nation bloc’s top tribunal. The German Federal Cartel Office, or Bundeskartellamt, wasn’t contesting the company’s use of customer data to target ads to users on Facebook.
