Facebook, Google face complaints worth $8 billion over alleged breach of new EU data law

Max Schrems' non-profit organization NOYB filed complaints against Google, Facebook and Facebook-owned services WhatsApp and Instagram. Schrems alleged that the companies "forced consent" from users to obtain the right to use their data and comply with the EU's GDPR. Schrems accused Facebook and Google of not giving users a "free choice" to agree to the tech firms using their data.
