Italy's Competition and Markets Authority has launched proceedings against Facebook for failing to fully inform users about the commercial uses it makes of their data. At the same time a German court has today upheld a consumer group's right to challenge the tech giant over data and privacy issues in the national courts. The Italian authority's action, which could result in a fine of €5 million for Facebook, follows an earlier decision by the regulator, in November 2018 -- when it found the company had not been dealing plainly with users about the underlying value exchange involved in signing up to the 'free' service, and fined Facebook €5M for failing to properly inform users how their information would be used commercially.
