Court of Justice 6 February 2025, C-492/23 (X v Russmedia Digital SRL and Inform Media Press SRL.)

Also known as

The Advocate General's opinion addresses the liability of intermediary service providers under Directive 2000/31/EC and the GDPR in a case involving an unauthorized advertisement that included personal data. The key legal question revolves around whether the online marketplace operator, Russmedia, can be exempt from liability for the advertisement under Article 14(1) of Directive 2000/31, given its role as a data controller and the obligations imposed by the GDPR. The opinion suggests a nuanced relationship between the two legal frameworks, emphasizing the need for the court to consider the operator's active role in managing advertisement content and its compliance with data protection obligations.AI
