Dutch court finds Facebook used personal data incorrectly

A Dutch court on Wednesday found that the European subsidiary of Meta, Facebook Ireland, improperly used personal data of Dutch citizens between 2010 and 2020 in a class action lawsuit.

"Personal information was processed for the purposes of advertising when in this case that is not allowed," a summary of the court ruling said.

The Dutch case has not yet progressed to the phase where any damages could be claimed.
