Big Tech Under Fire: EU Privacy Group Files Complaints Against Meta & Microsoft, Australia Shifts Probe Focus

Update: 2024-06-07

Description

This week's Privacy Corner dives into several data privacy battles:

- EU privacy group noyb filed complaints against Meta alleging its AI training policy violates GDPR rules on transparency, data subject rights, and lawful processing.
- Noyb also targeted Microsoft, accusing them of misleading schools about their role in data processing for Microsoft 365 Education products and secretly tracking student data.
- The Australian privacy regulator dropped its investigation into TikTok's use of tracking pixels due to limitations in the outdated Privacy Act, but launched proceedings against healthcare provider Medibank for a massive data breach.
