Facebook furiously pumps brakes on Euro probe into transatlantic personal data slurping

Facebook today appealed the Irish High Court’s decision to pass the web giant's legal battle with Max Schrems over privacy rights to the European Union’s top court.

Schrems has said previously that he expected Facebook to issue a series of appeals against the decisions, and lamented both the costs involved and the lack of hard deadlines within Irish law to stop delay tactics.
