BRUSSELS: Belgium’s Privacy Commission alleged that Facebook is illegally tracking users and also decided to take the social site to the court.
According to reports, the commission said that social website was trampling on privacy laws. The commission said at the time that it couldn’t fine Facebook, but threatened that it would pursue legal action if the site didn’t respond adequately to its report — and it has now begun those proceedings.
The commission now hopes that a judge will force Facebook to comply with its recommendations. The case will be heard in a Belgian court on Thursday.
Facebook called the proceedings “theatrical” and said that they were unexpected.
