One Month for European DPAs to decide Facebook's EU-US Data Transfers

Data Transfers European DPAs get Facebook Data Transfer Decision by Irish DPC As the DPC informed journalists today, it issued a Draft Decision under Article 60 GDPR, concerning Facebook's (Meta's) EU-US data transfers in light of FISA 702 and the Snowden disclosures. The Draft Decision is part of the "own volition" procedure that the DPC initiated in parallel to the original complaint by Max Schrems. noyb has agreed to not disclose details on this specific procedure and can therefore only comment on publicly known information. Article by Politico No immanent stop. The DPC's Draft Decision will not lead to an immanent stop of data transfers. In fact the Draft Decision will trigger the process under Article 60 of the GDPR, giving other data protection authorities ("DPAs") a month to comment on the decision. Usually other European DPAs have objected to major decisions coming from the DPC. This then triggers a procedure under Article 65 GDPR, with a vote on the final decision. Max Schrems
