Facebook ignores EU Court rulings on data transfers, Irish DPC enforcement pending

noyb reports that Facebook's 86‑page Transfer Impact Assessment disregards the CJEU Schrems I and II rulings that require EU‑US data transfers to stop. The Irish Data Protection Commission has not yet issued a decision despite a complaint dating back to 2013. Facebook continues to rely on new Standard Contract Clauses and other legal bases to transfer data.

Why it matters: The case highlights ongoing non‑compliance with EU data‑transfer law and potential enforcement risk for Facebook.
