Germany Concludes Antitrust Case Against Meta, Enforces Data Limitations
Germany's antitrust authority has finalized its challenge against Meta's 'superprofiling' practices, marking a significant victory for privacy rights. The Bundeskartellamt announced that Meta has dropped its appeal and agreed to implement measures limiting data collection across its platforms. Key changes include a new Accounts Center for users to manage data sharing and clearer options for data consent. While some changes are already in effect, others will roll out soon. This outcome highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny of Meta's data practices and sets a precedent for future privacy protections across Europe.
