How a 17th-century Irish law is shielding Big Tech from class actions in Europe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DUBLIN — An obscure 400-year-old Irish law is holding back collective legal action against Big Tech firms in Europe. For decades, consumers in the United States have been banding together to sue companies for billions of dollars in compensation for harm caused by everything from tobacco and oil to online shopping. Five years ago, Europeans got similar rights to file continent-wide consumer class-action cases against corporations, prompted by the "Dieselgate" emissions scandal that forced German
Privacy watchdog warns of ‘serious risks’ over EU police agency surveillance (opens the original)
