VERBATIM: The European Court of Justice said that competition watchdogs can consider whether companies like Facebook comply with the continent’s strict privacy rules. Those rules are normally enforced by national data privacy regulators. The court ruled that antitrust authorities can take into account any violations of data privacy rules as they investigate whether tech giants are abusing their dominance in the market by boxing out competitors.
