LUXEMBOURG - Facebook Inc is attacking a Belgian court order forcing it to stop tracking local users' surfing habits, including those of millions who aren't signed up to the social network.
The company will challenge the 2018 court order and the threat of a daily fine of 250,000 euros should it fail to comply. The Brussels Court of First Instance in February 2018 ruled that Facebook doesn't provide people with enough information about how and why it collects data on their web use, or what it does with the information.
Facebook is facing increasing scrutiny in Europe as privacy authorities are looking to increase the level of fines they issue under the EU's new General Data Protection Regulation, which allow penalties as large as 4 per cent of a company's annual revenue.
