The Bundeskartellamt, the German national competition agency, took the spectacular decision to bring an antitrust case against Facebook on the grounds of privacy violations that, according to the agency, amount to a competition law violation. Courts, in interim proceedings, assessed this with different views (Oberlandesgericht Düssedorf stopping the implementation, Bundesgerichtshof siding with Federal Cartel Office). In this video, Michal Gal (professor at the University of Haifa) interviews Rupprecht Podszun (professor at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf) on the matter. Rupprecht Podszun closely followed the case from the beginning and explains some of the basics of this most interesting competition law case. The two, who are also members of the Board of Ascola, the Academic Society for Competition Law (www.ascola.org) did the interview in mid-October 2020. #Kartellrecht #Facebook #antitrust #Datenschutz
