Germany's highest civil court has ruled that victims of a Facebook data breach could be entitled to compensation. The ruling could be good news for millions of users, but Facebook's parent company, Meta, remains bullish.
The court in the southwestern city of Karlsruhe, Germany's highest court for civil cases, said that the basic loss of control over data online was grounds for damages — without plaintiffs having to prove any specific financial losses, misuse of the data or even that they have been particularly concerned.
