CJEU – According to Advocate General Bobek, Maximilian Schrems may be able to rely on his consumer status in order to sue Facebook Ireland before the Austrian Courts with respect to the private use of his own Facebook account. However, Mr Schrems cannot rely on his consumer status with respect to claims assigned to him by other consumers. (Judgement C-498/16)
