Dutch Court Rejects Facebook's Offer To Dismiss Privacy Lawsuit In Netherlands
荷蘭法院駁回Facebook在荷蘭駁回隱私訴訟的提議
- On Saturday, an Amsterdam court ruled that the privacy litigation against Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ:FB) in the Netherlands can proceed. The case will be heard in October, the Verge reported.
- The court rejected Facebook’s offer to have the lawsuit from two non-profit groups thrown out.
- The Amsterdam-based Data Privacy Foundation and Dutch consumer advocacy organization Consumentenbond have filed a lawsuit against Facebook for violating the European Union privacy law.
- According to the lawsuit, Facebook has not provided details about the information it gathers from users. Facebook has also not mentioned what it does with the data; hence, it cannot process it.
- Facebook denies the allegations and claims it respects user privacy and provides people with meaningful control over how their data gets exploited.
- According to the court, “The Data Privacy Foundation may litigate before the Dutch court on behalf of Dutch users of the Facebook service against Facebook about whether Facebook has violated the privacy of its users.”
- European Union law allows for collective redress across several areas, including data protection rights, enabling qualified entities to bring representative actions on behalf of rights holders.
- Facebook claims that the Amsterdam court doesn’t have jurisdiction over its European business, which it argues is subject to Irish law.
- Price Action: FB shares closed higher by 0.09% at $354.70 on Friday.

- 週六，阿姆斯特丹一家法院裁定，針對隱私的訴訟Facebook Inc.(納斯達克市場代碼：FB)可以繼續在荷蘭上市。據The Verge報道，此案將於10月份開庭審理。
- 法院駁回了Facebook提出的駁回兩家非營利組織訴訟的提議。
- 總部位於阿姆斯特丹的數據隱私基金會(Data Privacy Foundation)和荷蘭消費者權益倡導組織Consumer entenond已經對Facebook提起訴訟，稱其違反了歐盟隱私法。
- 根據訴訟，Facebook沒有提供它從用户那裏收集的信息的細節。Facebook也沒有提到它對這些數據做了什麼；因此，它無法處理這些數據。
- Facebook否認了這些指控，並聲稱它尊重用户隱私，併為人們提供了對他們的數據如何被利用進行有意義的控制。
- 根據法院的説法，“數據隱私基金會(Data Privacy Foundation)可能會代表Facebook服務的荷蘭用户向荷蘭法院提起訴訟，指控Facebook是否侵犯了用户的隱私。”
- 歐盟法律允許在幾個領域進行集體補救，包括數據保護權，使符合條件的實體能夠代表權利持有人提起代表訴訟。
- Facebook聲稱，阿姆斯特丹法院對其歐洲業務沒有管轄權，它認為歐洲業務受愛爾蘭法律管轄。
- 價格行動：FB股價週五收高0.09%.報354.70美元.
