💨 Abstract

The EU General Court ruled that the European Commission must pay damages to a German citizen for transferring his personal data to the U.S. without proper safeguards. This breached EU data protection regulations. The individual had used the "Sign in with Facebook" option on an EU login webpage. The court found this transfer of the user's IP address to Meta Platforms in the U.S. violated EU data protection rules.
