Vonne Laan on BNR: Amsterdam Court of Appeal further opens the door for TikTok class action
Vonne Laan comments on an important Amsterdam Court of Appeal decision concerning collective claims for privacy violations by TikTok and its wider significance for Big Tech litigation.
The Amsterdam Court of Appeal issued an important interim decision in collective proceedings against TikTok. The ruling confirms that certain claims may be pursued collectively and addresses, among other issues, the position of claims for non-material damage. Speaking to BNR Nieuwsradio, Vonne Laan explains why the judgment is relevant beyond this individual case. Collective actions can provide an effective means of redress where large groups of users are affected by the same data practices. The decision therefore sends a broader signal to technology companies that alleged privacy violations and the commercial use of personal data can lead to substantial collective litigation in the Netherlands.
