Facebook is being sued by around 25,000 users for alleged violations of European privacy laws.
According to a class action suit of 900,0000 users due to be heard in a Vienna court later today, the claim focuses on the way Facebook collects and forwards data. It has been brought against Facebook’s European headquarters in Dublin, which registers all accounts outside the US and Canada.
