Órdago de Meta to the EU: another episode in the long battle for data control

share

Mark Zuckerberg’s company, which has been litigating with Brussels for years so that it does not put obstacles in the transfer of data to the US, is considering taking Facebook and Instagram from Europe. If he did, his business would go down.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg once confessed to a former collaborator that he has three great fears in life: having his systems hacked, his employees being physically harmed, and his social network being torn apart by lawmakers. This last fear is not unreasonable. Perhaps because Facebook’s founding motto, Move fast and break things, was taken at face value. This is how it is considered by at least both the US regulator and several state governments in the country, which opened investigations against the company two years ago for harming its users and competitors. The EU also believes it, with whom it has been litigating for years on account of the community requirement for certain privacy guarantees in the processing of its citizens’ data.
