| Sumario: | Facebook, and Meta Platforms Ireland, are once again in the centre of attention after the decision of the Irish Data Protection Commissioner to suspend the personal data transfer of the European social media users-consumers to the US. This is the expected outcome of a process that was initiated by the activist Max Schrems, that has been taken twice before the ECJ for preliminary rulings, resulting in an extraordinary setback for the operations of the American company. This paper will go through the precedents of the case and the foreseeable next steps in the case after Facebook´s threat of suspending operations if the Irish Commissioner´s decision remained firm. Finally, the focus will be placed in the new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework that is currently being negotiated between the US and the EU. |
