Austrian law student Max Schrems has won the first round in his class action
lawsuit against Facebook over online privacy.
After an initial
hearing yesterday, Austria's Vienna Regional Court gave Facebook Ireland four weeks to respond, though it can ask the court for an extension of an additional four weeks if required.
Speaking after the decision, Mr Schrems
said:
The order is very likely on the way to Facebook via registered mail. The first step in the legal procedure is hereby taken.
