Decision coming up on Meta’s EU–US data transfers
The Irish Data Protection Commission is considering blocking Meta from transferring user data between the EU and the US, with a draft decision circulated for feedback to other data protection authorities in the EU.
Politico reports that the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) plans to block Meta from sending user data from the EU to the USA. A draft decision has reportedly been sent to other data protection authorities (DPAs) in the EU for feedback.
The DPC confirmed to TechCrunch that a draft decision on the legality of Meta’s EU–US data transfers had indeed been sent to other DPAs – which have one month to react – but did not comment on the content of the draft.
