>In 2011, Schrems created Europe versus Facebook, which published the documents Facebook had sent him and flagged up where they didn't comply with EU law. He got in touch with the Office of the Irish Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC) -- Facebook Ireland is the "data controller" for its European users -- and sent 22 detailed complaints showing how Facebook wasn't compliant, five relating to it allegedly not deleting data. He also complained about "shadow profiles", where Facebook collects contact information relating to non-users when users sync their contacts from other services.
