Read that Facebook is taking this to court. They will lose and hopefully every country comes up with something similar.

Finally. I hope it’s the Jenga-crash incoming.

The question is how will they stop FB from doing so anyway? How will they monitor that their orders are being followed?

Facebook it's ok!!! Good social networking site. Nice entertainment with the world.

German antitrust authorities restrict Facebook data useBERLIN (AP) — German antitrust authorities have issued a ruling prohibiting Facebook from combining user data from different sources. The Bundeskartellamt says Facebook users have only been able to use the social network on the condition that it can collect user data 'outside of the Facebook website in the internet or on smartphone apps and assign these data to the user's Facebook account.' This includes assigning data from Facebook-owned services like WhatsApp and Instagram, as well as third-party websites, to a Facebook user account. Bundeskartellamt president Andreas Mundt said Thursday that the ruling means 'Facebook will no longer be allowed to force its users to agree to the practically unrestricted collection and assigning of non-Facebook data to their Facebook user accounts.' Very Important! I say! 10.👊💚👍🍀 Take down big social media UK & others should do the same.
