\n Facebook may be forced to stop sending data about its European users to the US, in the first major fallout from a recent court ruling that found some trans-Atlantic data transfers don\u2019t protect users from American government snooping.<\/p>\n

The social network said Wednesday that Ireland\u2019s Data Protection Commission has started an inquiry into how Facebook shifts data from the European Union to the United States.<\/p>\n

The news<\/a> was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, which said Ireland\u2019s data commission gave Facebook until mid-September to respond to a preliminary order to suspend the transfers.<\/p>\n

The result could be that the US tech giant, which has data centers around the world, is forced to undertake a costly and complex revamp of its operations to ensure that European user data is kept out of the US. It\u2019s unclear, however, what impact \u2013 if any \u2013 there would be on Facebook users.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lack of safe, secure and legal international data transfers would damage the economy and hamper the growth of data-driven businesses in the EU, just as we seek a recovery from COVID-19,\u201d Facebook\u2019s vice president of global affairs and communications, Nick Clegg, wrote in a blog post.<\/p>\n

The Irish data commission suggested that a type of legal mechanism governing the data transfers, known as standard contractual clauses, \u201ccannot in practice be used for EU-US data transfers,\u201d Clegg said.<\/p>\n

The commission, which did not reply to a request for comment, is Facebook\u2019s lead privacy regulator in Europe and can fine companies up to 4 percent of annual revenue for data breaches.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first major move by a European regulator after the EU\u2019s top court issued a ruling in July on the two types of legal mechanisms used to govern data transfers.<\/p>\n

The European Court of Justice invalidated an agreement known as Privacy Shield and decided that the standard legal clauses were still OK. But in cases where there are concerns about data privacy, EU regulators should vet, and if needed block, the transfer of data.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest development in a case that originated more than seven years ago, when Max Schrems, an Austrian privacy activist, filed a complaint about the handling of his Facebook data after former US National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed the American government was eavesdropping on people\u2019s online data and communications. The revelations included detail on how Facebook gave US security agencies access to the personal data of Europeans.<\/p>\n

Though the case specifically targets Facebook, it could have far-reaching implications for other tech giants\u2019 operations in Europe. In Facebook\u2019s case, for example, messages between Europeans would have to stay in Europe, which can be complicated and require the platform to be split up, Schrems has said.<\/p>\n

The outcome of the case could also affect other companies doing business across borders, Clegg said, giving as examples a German startup not being able to use a U.S.-based cloud provider and a French retailer unable to maintain its Moroccan call center.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
