RE: German Court Rules That Facebook's Use of Personal Data is illegal

in #steemtest7 years ago

That's very interesting and encouraging. Sort of obvious in a way. I wonder if anything significant will come of it though. These big companies just seem to negotiate a settlement or pay a find and move on to other nefarious activity.

Sort:  

Great observation @gillianpearce. However, in this case it is different. I am surprised Germany even came this far to disclosing FB's misconduct (that is happening in all countries). Germany does have the power to completely shut down a service that is not compliant, like they did with Uber. Since we are talking about preservation of human rights, this is a positive example of the Governments being actually useful.

Thanks for the clarification @cryptonik. It will be interesting to see what happens next then! 😊
