Summary/Abstract: The article presents a thread of a decision of the Italian competition and consumer protection authority and of a judgment of the administrative court deciding the case on an appeal, regarding the acknowledgement of the economic value of data provided to Facebook by users subscribing to its service. The court confirmed the AGCM’s finding that data have such economic value and, therefore, the transaction of service subscription is mutual and, further, it creates certain operator’s obligations towards the user treated as a consumer. It is the first instance of such a decision of an authority or of a court of an EU Member State.
