Case Studies

In 2022, we funded 19 grants worth EUR 800,000 supporting litigation and pre-litigation activities across 12 individual jurisdictions, including Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Topics covered included competition law and data rights violations by gig economy companies, predictive policing, spyware, sensitive data protection and privacy violations by online platforms, hate speech fueled by algorithms, facial recognition technology, processing of sensitive medical data, inactive data protection authorities, surveillance through automated number plate recognition, blocking of websites used by queer communities, automated digital identity check services, digital attendance tracking of students, and online political advertising.

The following are ten case studies covering a selection of the activities supported in 2022.
