Germany's Federal Cartel Office closes case against Meta after data control enhancements.

Germany's Federal Cartel Office has closed its case against Meta (formerly Facebook) after the company implemented measures to enhance user control over data. The dispute, initiated in 2019, arose from Meta's practice of merging user data without consent. New measures include an accounts center for data separation and temporary data storage. The regulator deemed these changes effective in addressing its concerns, ending the legal challenges against Meta.
