BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Facebook has secured a court order to temporarily stop EU antitrust regulators’ information requests related to their investigations into the company’s data and online marketplace, according to a General Court ruling.

The European Union request “is suspended until the order terminating the present proceedings for interim relief is made,” the Luxembourg-based court said in a judgment dated July 24.

Facebook earlier took its grievance against the European Commission to Europe’s second-highest court, saying that the European Commission was seeking information beyond what is necessary, including highly personal details.
