Privacy activist files complaint against 101 European websites

A month after that ruling, the Schrems organization has now taken stock and seen that 101 websites still use services such as Google Analytics and Facebook Connect, which now unlawfully send data to the US. “We quickly searched the main websites in each EU country to see if they contain code from Facebook and Google. These snippets of code send data about each visitor to Google or Facebook. Both companies admit they have data on Europeans.
