In a nutshell, Belgium's data protection regulator took Facebook to court a year ago, accusing it of trampling on EU privacy law by tracking people without a Facebook account without their consent.It concerns the datr tracking cookie. The belgian Court had dismissed The Belgian Privacy Commission case on the grounds that the regulator has no jurisdiction over Facebook Inc, which has its European headquarters in Ireland. Facebook will bring all their services back online for, quoting facebook, "people in Belgium". I personally this rulling disturbing. And apparently, it is not first decision within Europe countries to go into that direction. It is even more disturbing because it concerns tracking of people who don't have any facebook account (so no Terms of Services acceptance, ...).
