After almost 30 years of faithful service, Swisscom has finally switched off its 2G technology. According to the operator, the proportion of traffic transmitted via 2G fell to less than 0.03% by the end of 2020. Swisscom now plans to use the freed-up bandwidth for 4G and 5G services.
And in other turn-off news, Greek operator Cosmote says its 3G services will be gradually phased out from September 2021. Cosmote is offering free replacement of obsolete SIM cards for subscribers who currently use 3G data services. Again, freed-up spectrum will go to bolster the operator s 4G and 5G networks.
In a statement, the DPC shared that it “is of the opinion that one or more provisions of the GDPR and/or the Data Protection Act 2018 may have been, and/or are being, infringed in relation to Facebook Users’ personal data”, based on “information provided by Facebook Ireland”.
Last week, the regulator stated that, of the 533 million individuals caught up in the leak, a “significant number” are EU users, adding that much of the data appears to have been scraped some time ago from public Facebook profiles.
Facebook released a statement saying that the leaked data wasn’t obtained through hacking Facebook’s systems, but by “malicious actors” scraping it from the tech giant’s platform “prior to September 2019”. The company added that it is “confident that the specific issue that allowed them to scrape this data in 2019 no longer exists”.
