Austria orders compensation in FB data case July 21, 2021 Vienna: Austria’s highest court has ordered Facebook to compensate a privacy activist after failing to provide him full access to his data, he said Tuesday. The Austrian Supreme Court decided Max Schrems would get 500 euros ($590), finding the activist neither "got all the raw data, nor crucial information like the legal basis that his data was processed" by Facebook, his group NOYB said in a statement. The court also decided to refer questions over the legality of Facebook’s use of the data of its EU customers to the EU’s Court of Justice.
