Analysis
Opinion in Data Privacy Facebook Case Could Lead to More GDPR Investigations
The highest adviser to Europe’s top court has said national privacy regulators can take legal action against tech giants who flout GDPR rules even if they are headquartered in another EU country.
The highest legal adviser to the Court of Justice of the European Union said in a preliminary opinion that any EU country can take legal action against companies such as Facebook over violations of data privacy rules—not just the main regulator in charge of the company.
“The lead data protection authority cannot be deemed as the sole enforcer of the GDPR in cross-border situations, and must, in compliance with the relevant rules and time limits provided for by the GDPR, closely cooperate with the other data protection authorities concerned,” the opinion said.
