#Facebook takes the #EU to court over #privacy spat

#Facebook has pushed back against a #European Union investigation into its practices, taking it to court over #privacy concerns.
Two investigations are being carried out into Facebook to find out if it breaches #competition laws. To gather information, the European Commission has demanded internal documents from Facebook that include 2,500 specific key phrases.

Facebook says that means handing over unrelated but highly sensitive data.
The European Commission says it will defend the case in court, and its investigation into Facebook's potential #anticompetitive conduct is ongoing.
The social media giant has filed an appeal to the EU courts, arguing against the breadth of the document requests.
