Meta grozi zamknięciem Facebooka i Instagrama w Europie.
It is not the first time that the company behind, among others, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram has been pulling that ‘stunt’. The threats are a reaction to what happened in 2020 when Facebook was told by privacy regulators in Ireland that it could no longer use standard contractual clauses to comply with privacy rules when sending data to the US, the so-called Privacy Shield. According to the European Court of Justice personal data is less well protected in the US than in Europe. Facebook immediately warned that stopping transatlantic data transfers could have a devastating impact on the company. The company relies on the processing of user data in order to provide targeted online advertisements.
An investigation is currently still being carried out by the Irish data regulator. Meta is therefore still waiting for a final decision in the case. That may come in the first half of this year. In that context, the US company is now warning that if a good solution is not found, “we probably won’t be able to offer some of our core products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in Europe.”
