Tune in for an interview with Prof. Rupprecht Podszun about the first of its kind case into Facebook where competition and privacy law collide. The antitrust case pursued by the German competition authority, the Bundeskartellamt, centres on alleged exploitative dominance abuse by amassing private user data in breach of EU privacy rules. Prof. Podszun, who says he “loves the case”, has been one of the lead observers and commentators of the twists and turns of the proceedings that have now reached the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU).
 
 Hear about:

• Which role is for competition vs data privacy rules in this case
• Theories of harm to competition, also as developed in appeal proceedings
• Why legal questions referred to the CJEU focus on privacy – and not competition law
• Far-reaching ripple-effects of the case on the digital policy discourse
