CJEU C-252/21 Meta Platforms and Others (General terms of use of a social network)
The 'Meta Bundeskartellamt' ruling: Legal bases are interpreted stricter and while you might rely on legitimate interest for direct marketing, network security or product improvement, processing personal data must be *strictly* necessary (but is it correctly applied? 🤔)

UPDATED: No big surprises, nor new big takeaways, but this ruling sparks questions around 'strictly necessary' and 'purpose'. Ruling: Facebook can't indiscriminately use personal data on or off their platform for personalised ads, without restricting the duration and type of data.

UPDATED: First interpretation of the Art. 14(5)(c) derogation! It applies to *all* data not collected from the data subject, including self-generated data. And a DPA can verify national law under Art. 14(5)(c) - but not include Art. 32 obligations under that. And beware of language differences!

UPDATED: National case-law could be relevant under Article 6(1)(c) legal obligation. And while we get some further guidance on legitimate interest assessments, the CJEU creates some confusion around 'strictly necessary' again.
