Meta’s challenge came after it was banned by the German authority from collecting data from its various services including Instagram and WhatsApp and linking the information to the Facebook account of the user for advertising purposes. Facebook had challenged the German decision at a court in Duesseldorf, which had sent the case on to the European court.

The court adviser also noted that a ban on processing sensitive personal data, such as an individual’s ethnic origin, health or sexual orientation, could apply in this case.
