German antitrust authorities restrict Facebook data useBERLIN (AP) — German antitrust authorities have issued a ruling prohibiting Facebook from combining user data from different sources. The Bundeskartellamt says Facebook users have only been able to use the social network on the condition that it can collect user data 'outside of the Facebook website in the internet or on smartphone apps and assign these data to the user's Facebook account.'
