DUBLIN: Ireland's High Court on Monday temporarily froze a probe by Facebook's lead European Union regulator that threatened to halt the US social media giant's transatlantic data flows, a court spokesman said.
"A stay was put on the Section 11 order," he added, referring to the Data Protection Commission order that threatened to block the data flows. No date has yet been set for the matter to return to the court, he said. However, the July ruling also said that under SCCs, privacy watchdogs must suspend or prohibit transfers outside the EU if data protection in other countries cannot be assured.The transatlantic argument stems from EU concerns that the surveillance regime in the United States may not respect the privacy rights of EU citizens when their personal data is sent to the United States for commercial use.
