Austrian advocacy group NOYB is threatening Meta with an injunction over its plans to use EU users' personal data for AI training, potentially leading to billion-euro damages claims. NOYB, led by privacy activist Max Schrems, argues that Meta's claim of 'legitimate interest' under EU privacy rules is invalid. They have set a May 21 deadline for Meta to respond and are considering collective lawsuits for damages from over 400 million European users. NOYB suggests that Meta should allow users to opt-in for data use and ensure compliance with EU privacy regulations.
