Naruszenie prawa ochrony danych osobowych jako nadużycie pozycji dominującej? Postępowanie Bundeskartellamt przeciwko Facebookowi
Violation of data protection law as an abuse of a dominant position? The Bundeskartellamt’s proceedings against Facebook

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to assess the main assumptions of the proceedings initiated in March 2016 by the Bundeskartellamt, the German competition authority, against Facebook, and thus answer the question whether an infringement of data protection law may constitute an abuse of a dominant position under EU competition law. In the wider perspective, the proceedings conducted by the Bundeskartellamt also raise important questions regarding the relationship between competition law and data protection law, including data protection issues in competition law, as well as the competences of antitrust authorities to assess breaches of data protection law.
