BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Meta Platforms was hit with privacy complaints on Thursday as eight EU consumer groups asked watchdogs to act against the Facebook owner for alleged breaches of the bloc's privacy rules when it collects user data.

The complaints by consumer groups in the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Greece, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain to data protection authorities in their countries add to previous grievances over Meta's trove of user data.
