Der Standard reports NOYB Founder Max Schrems will have an appeal heard by Austria's Supreme Court regarding his case alleging Facebook lacks explicit user consent for the use of personal data. The appeal stems from a January decision from the Higher Regional Court of Vienna that deemed Facebook's user contracts established user permission for data processing. The court will either hear Schrems' appeal or seek a ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union.
