According to Arabiyanet, the warning from the American social networking giant Facebook came in the wake of the Irish data protection commissioner’s move to ban data sharing after the European Court of Justice found The platforms did not have sufficient safeguards to prevent the US intrusion on European users.
and the assistant general counsel of Facebook wrote in a lawsuit in Dublin that the ban would make Facebook unable to provide its services in Europe, according to what the British Sun newspaper quoted in a report it read. It is Arabic Net.
But Facebook later denied that the court file in Ireland represented a threat to the company's operations in Europe.
and the Sun quoted a Facebook spokesperson as saying: There is no threat to withdraw from Europe, pointing out that the legal documents submitted to the Irish Supreme Court define a simple fact that Facebook and many Of the companies, institutions and other services depend on data transfers between the European Union and the United States in order to operate their services.
he added that the lack of safe and legal international data transfers would damage the economy and hinder the growth of data-dependent businesses in the European Union.
Nick Clegg, Vice President of Global Affairs and Communications at Facebook, said in a post with a moratorium earlier this month: In July, the European Union's Court of Justice annulled the so-called (Privacy Shield), a legal framework that regulates transfers of personal data from the European Union to the United States.
This legal battle began in 2011 when Austrian lawyer Max Schrimms filed privacy complaints with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner.
