European Union privacy regulators are considering a ruling that would bar Facebook from sending European users’ data to the United States, increasing pressure on U.S. and European negotiators to finalize a recent data transfer deal that could help thousands of companies avoid disruptions.
Ireland’s Data Protection Commission on Thursday sent its EU counterparts a long-awaited draft decision that, if approved, would order Metaplatforms Facebook and Instagram will suspend transfers. The draft decision appeared almost two years later the regulator first alerted Facebook it can do this, which will lead to litigation surrounding the procedure.
