The Trans Atlantic Consumer Dialogue (TACD), an organisation of leading American and European consumer rights groups, wrote to the Irish Data Protection Commissioner Billy Hawkes and to the US Federal Trade Commission on the 29 July 2014. EurActiv reported on the 1 August 2014 that Facebook faced separate investigations by EU and US data regulators over its plans to collect web browsing histories for targeted advertising after a complaint by consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. Separately on the same day, an Austrian law student called for Facebook users to join a class-action lawsuit against the company’s alleged violations of its users' privacy. |
