Meta CJEU Judgment – When Competition Meets Privacy: Renato Nazzini, Thomas Höppner, Alessia D'Amico
Alessia D'Amico – Assistant Professor at the International and European Law (IER) Department of the Utrecht School of Law.
Thomas Höppner – Professor of Law at Technical University Wildau and a Partner at Hausfeld in Berlin specialising in EU and German competition law.
Renato Nazzini – Professor of Law and Director of the Centre of Construction Law and Dispute Resolution, King's College London.
Recent CJEU judgment in Meta Platforms – and the overall Meta saga – put forward many intriguing questions on the ways of how competition authorities can use other legal instruments for establishing an infringement of competition rules (in this specific case it was a question on the intersection between competition and privacy laws). To unravel the key conclusions and the key implications of the case we met with three remarkable competition scholars for an hour-long conversation.

The Digital Markets Research Hub is an independent academic initiative aiming at scrutinising the functioning of competition/regulation in digital markets. We host one-to-one interviews with leading policymakers, regulators and practitioners. We also organise online mini-workshops inviting high-profile experts and academics in various fields of digital competition law & policy to discuss the most vibrant issues of the ongoing regulatory reforms in digital markets.
While having our clear normative stand on the matters discussed within the hub, we value different views and invite relevant stakeholders and thinkers representing the whole spectrum of reasonable positions on how to regulate competition in digital markets.
