Spain is the latest to file a lawsuit against Facebook. A local consumer group said Wednesday that it will sue the social networking giant over misusing personal data of 26 million Facebook users in Spain. In a class action lawsuit, the group said that it will represent all Spanish users of Facebook, not just those affected by the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The lawsuit is looking at getting at least €200 for every Facebook user in the country.

“OCU [the consumer rights group] said it believes ‘Facebook violated legislation regarding data protection,’ because it did not tell users how it would use their data, nor ask for their authorisation,” AFP reported. “It said it had acted in coordination with other consumer rights groups in Portugal, Belgium and Italy which will file similar lawsuits in their countries.”
