Judgment issued in fan pages case: BfDI considers further legal action

In the consolidated proceedings brought by the Federal Press Office (BPA) and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (Meta) against the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI), the 13th Chamber of the Cologne Administrative Court held an oral hearing on the question of the legal operation of a Facebook page ("fan page") raised by the Federal Government. Today, the court partially upheld the action and annulled the 2023 decision of the BfDI. Meta's action was dismissed on three of four points.

Fan page proceedings go into the next round
