The Regional Court of Leipzig in Germany has ordered Meta to pay €5,000 in compensation to an individual plaintiff for violating the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The court emphasized that Meta amassed significant amounts of user data through commercial means, allowing it to track users' identities and online activities even when they were not logged in, and subsequently transferred this data to regions outside the EU, introducing risks during subsequent processing. This ruling, which invokes GDPR and sets a precedent with a higher compensation amount compared to previous cases, underscores the gravity of Meta's data practices and its substantial dependence on the advertising industry.
