Irish DPC issues Draft Decision on Facebook EU-US data transfers, starts one-month comment period

The Irish Data Protection Commission issued a Draft Decision under Article 60 GDPR concerning Meta's Facebook EU‑US data transfers. The draft triggers a one‑month comment period for other European DPAs and does not immediately halt the transfers. The decision follows the "own volition" procedure initiated alongside Max Schrems' original complaint.

Why it matters: The draft decision could shape the legality of Facebook’s transatlantic data flows under GDPR.
