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”.

News of the European Commission’s draft Decision that the UK ensures an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to the UK can only have been greeted by with a sigh of relief by businesses both in the UK and in the EU. This is the first and most important step on the road to delivering a final Decision enabling data flows to the UK to continue unhindered. Such a Decision should now be achievable by the 30 June deadline imposed through the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. Nevertheless, the road ahead up to adoption of the Decision and beyond might just be a bumpy one.
