Italy fines Facebook €7 million for competition and data issues

Italy’s Council of State which has jurisdiction on acts of all administrative authorities has fined Facebook €7 million for not complying with a request to correct improper commercial practices in its treatment of user data. The decision of 29 March says that given the economic value of the data for Facebook, Facebook users should have been able to decide for themselves whether their data should be used.
