X (Twitter) claim in the Netherlands

On August 16th, SOMI launched a collective claim against X (formerly Twitter) for violations of the fundamental rights of millions of its users regarding data protection and consumer protection.

X has been engaging in unlawful practices for years to generate more visitors and advertising revenue. By using manipulative practices combined with a lack of transparency about the use of personal data, X unfairly benefits from its millions of users.

These violations include concealed data breaches, inadequate action against hate speech, and obstructed investigations into such incidents. Additionally, X manipulates its users by offering advertisements that (illegally) target political and religious preferences without the knowledge of the user.

SOMI is committed to addressing these issues and advocate for consumers and to seek compensation for the damage and unjust enrichment caused by X. Participation in this claim is free of charge.

TikTok claim in Belgium

On October 31, SOMI filed a claim against TikTok in Brussels for violating privacy and consumer law.

Adults who have used TikTok, as well as parents of children who use or have used TikTok since May 25th, 2018 and live in Belgium, can participate in the claim against TikTok by registering on the website tiktokclaim.be or via the link below.

Children under 13 years old: €2,000, children aged 13, 14 and 15 years: €1,000, children aged 16 and 17 years: €500, and adult users: €350. These are the amounts that SOMI claims as compensation for the participants of the collective claim against TikTok. Participation is free.
