Personal Data for Meta AI Training — My contribution at DPOBlog on District Court of Amsterdam‘s ruling

I have con­tri­bu­ted a new ana­ly­sis to the DPO­Blog on the recent judgment of the Dis­trict Court of Ams­ter­dam, which pro­hi­bits Meta from using per­so­nal data for AI trai­ning. The decis­i­on illus­tra­tes the emer­ging rele­van­ce of pri­va­te enforce­ment under the Digi­tal Mar­kets Act (DMA) and its inter­play with data pro­tec­tion obli­ga­ti­ons. It also pro­vi­des an ear­ly exam­p­le of how natio­nal courts may inter­pret the DMA’s effec­ti­ve­ness and self-exe­cu­ting cha­rac­ter — dis­clai­mer: After this judgment, the OLG Cologne’s ear­lier reaso­ning may safe­ly be forgotten.
