Facebook avoids a service shut down in Europe for now
https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/11/facebook-europe-shut-down-delay/
Facebook has avoided the risk of being forced to shut its service down in Europe this summer as a result of the latest twist in a long-running data protection complaint saga that relates to a clash between EU privacy and US surveillance law.
The delay — in what’s still widely expected to be a suspension order to Meta, Facebook’s parent company, to stop illegal data exports — follows objections to a draft decision by its lead data protection authority by other regional DPAs who have been reviewing it.
