EU Court of Justice to Rule on Privacy Activist's Facebook Case

The highest court in the European Union will decide whether an Austrian privacy activist can bring a class action lawsuit against Facebook for what he says are illegal violations of the privacy of users. Max Schrems, long a thorn in Facebook’s side, is claiming 500 euros ($620.55) in damages for each of more than 25,000 signatories to his lawsuit.
