In a posi­ti­on paper dated April 1, 2019 (Posi­tio­ning on respon­si­bi­li­ty and accoun­ta­bi­li­ty for Face­book fan­pages and super­vi­so­ry respon­si­bi­li­ty.) take the view that the Shared respon­si­bi­li­ty agree­ment pro­vi­ded by Face­book did not meet the requi­re­ments of Art. 26 GDPR for such agree­ments. With this agree­ment, Face­book had reli­ed on the judgment of the ECJ in which the ECJ sur­pri­sin­gly qua­li­fi­ed page ope­ra­tors and Face­book as joint­ly respon­si­ble parties.

The opi­ni­on of the DSK would have the con­se­quence that the ope­ra­ti­on of Face­book fan­pages is curr­ent­ly not pos­si­ble in a legal­ly com­pli­ant man­ner, within the scope of appli­ca­ti­on of the GDPR.
