Ireland's High Court has ruled privacy activist Max Schrems is entitled to 80% of the costs associated with his challenge against the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) for its handling of a 2013 complaint about the transfer of data by Facebook Ireland to the US. The judge said that "Mr Schrems had obtained a substantial part of the reliefs he had sought in the settlement and was therefore entitled to the majority of his costs."
