The office ordered Facebook to stop gathering user data across its platforms, such as Instagram and WhatsApp. The court ruled it has “serious doubts” about whether the office’s decisions had any legal basis. “Even if the contested data breached data-protection rules, that would not be an infringement of competition law at the same time,” the court said.
