Germany’s Federal Competition Office said on Thursday it would impose new limits on how Facebook collects data from subsidiaries Whatsapp and Instagram, as well as third-party websites with embedded Facebook, features such as “Like” buttons.

“In future, Facebook will no longer be allowed to force its users to agree to the practically unrestricted collection and assigning of non-Facebook data to their Facebook user accounts,” FCO chief Andreas Mundt said, insisting on “voluntary consent” for every kind of data collection.
