Facebook ordered to stop tracking Belgian internet users
2015-11-09 18:33:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) A court in Brussels has given Facebook 48 hours to stop tracking and registering personal details of internet users in Belgium. The company faces a fine of EUR 250,000 a day if it does not comply with the order, Belga news agency reported. The court of first instance in Brussels issued the ruling in a case brought by the Belgian Privacy Commission, which has been investigating Facebook's handling of personal data since early this year.

These non-members have not given explicit consent for Facebook cookies to track their browsing, putting the social network in violation of Belgian and EU laws on personal data protection.

Tico Times: At her farm nestled in the green hills of northwestern France, Marie-Francoise Brizard is helping to curb a planet-wide menace: farting and belching cows implicated in global warming. So far this year, Brizard says she has cut methane emissions from her herd of 40 Normandy cows that are equivalent to 32 tons of climate-changing carbon dioxide.
