German Federal Supreme Court confirms Facebook's abuse of market power

The German Federal Cartel Office (FCO, Bundeskartellamt) had prohibited Facebook from en-couraging its German users to agree to a practically unlimited collection and allocation of data to their user account. However, the FCO has so far been unable to enforce the order, because Fa-cebook appealed against this decision to the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court and obtained an order granting the suspensive effect of the appeal. This has now changed with the decision of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH), which revoked the order of suspensive effect of the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court (OLG Düsseldorf) on 23 June 2020.

25 Jun 2020 ... In the opinion of the BGH, there are no serious doubts about the dominant position of Facebook on the German market for social networks.
