Facebook bids to keep data privacy case from EU’s top court
▻https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-privacy-ireland/facebook-bids-to-keep-data-privacy-case-from-eus-top-court-idUSKBN1I11EY

Facebook bid on Monday to block referral of a landmark privacy case to Europe’s top court by requesting a last-ditch appeal, seeking to avoid a potential ban on the legal instrument it uses to transfer users’ data to the United States. The case, taken in Ireland by privacy activist Max Schrems, is the latest to question whether methods used by technology firms such as Google and Apple to transfer data outside the 28-nation European Union give EU consumers sufficient protection from U.S. (...)

Belgian Justice orders Facebook to cease tracking of non-Facebook users

▻https://www.privacycommission.be/en/news/judgment-facebook-case

In a judgement of 9 November 2015, the President of the Court of First Instance in Brussels, Belgium, ordered Facebook Inc., Facebook Ireland Limited and Facebook Belgium SPRL in summary proceedings to cease registering via cookies and social plug-ins which websites internet users from Belgium who do not have a Facebook account visit.

[...]
If Facebook does not comply with the order, it will have to pay a penalty of 250,000 EUR per day of non-compliance. The order remains in force, even if Facebook appeals the judgement.

[...]

the Court finds that the fact that Facebook collects data on the web surfing behaviour of millions of people from Belgium who have decided not to become a member of Facebook’s social network, is a “manifest” violation of Belgian data protection law, irrespective of for which purposes Facebook uses these data after having collecting these.

It worked thanks to the Google Spain precedent.

The new court decision has fundamental consequences. It not only invalidates Safe Harbor, but makes it clear that any new arrangement has to be fundamentally different from the old one. It not only has to protect European citizens better against U.S. e-commerce firms, but has to protect them against the U.S. state.

The Safe Harbor was (as described in earlier research on it) a rickety institution; formally, it was not even an agreement between the E.U. and United States, but an exchange of letters. The European Court of Justice will clearly not accept a deal with shaky foundations; it wants law.

Cloud et #données_personnelles : vers une annulation du Safe Harbor Europe/USA ? Rebondissement de l’affaire Max Schrems
▻http://www.numerama.com/magazine/34275-cloud-et-donnees-personnelles-vers-une-annulation-du-safe-harbor-eur

L’avocat général à la Cour de Justice de l’Union Européenne (#CJUE) Yves Bot a préconisé mercredi d’annuler la décision de la Commission européenne adoptée en 2000 qui autorise le transfert de données personnelles de citoyens européens vers les Etats-Unis.
▻http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2015-09/cp150106fr.pdf

Il estime que les conditions ne sont plus réunies pour que l’exécutif européen continue d’accorder aux USA le régime dit du « #Safe_Harbor », qui présume un « niveau de protection adéquat » des données personnelles des Européens lorsqu’elles sont transférées vers les Etats-Unis.

Lu dans la plainte déposée par Max Schrems contre #Facebook en juillet et traduite de l’allemand en anglais :

“Defendant makes its profits primarily through advertising which is placed in highly different forms in Defendant’s services (…) The precise systematics on which these analyses are based is not disclosed by Defendant.”

Social networking : What facebook knows about you

A couple of months ago the Austrian law student Max Schrems asked facebook to send him all their data stored about him. All Europeans have a right to do this. Because facebook is based in Dublin, Ireland. It took a while and then facebook sent Max a CD with 1222 PDF files.

Schrems was surprised how much the social network knows about him and his friends. And how much it remembers. In theory, people at facebook could read all of his facebook messages. And find out what he has written on criminal law.
