Facebook dealt setback by EU court adviser in privacy dispute | Reuters

'A German court asked the ECJ whether a German data protection authority had jurisdiction over Facebook given its Irish subsidiary Facebook Ireland was responsible for its data processing activities in Europe. '

'BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Facebook was dealt a setback on Tuesday when an adviser to the top European Union court said any data protection authority in the bloc had the power to take action against it for breaching privacy laws. '

'Facebook has its European headquarters in Ireland and has argued that only the Irish data protection authority has the power to police it for its processing of Europeans’ data. '

'Nonetheless other European privacy regulators, including the French, Belgian and German authorities, have taken action against the U.S. company. '

'The case stems from a dispute about a German fan page on Facebook which collected data on visitors to that page by storing a cookie on their hard drive. '
