Irish DPC sends threat letters to noyb over Facebook ROPA publication

noyb published Facebook's four‑page Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) required by Article 30 GDPR. The Irish Data Protection Commission, which received the ROPA on 27.9.2018, sent angry letters to noyb demanding the removal of the related tweet, threatening legal action.

Why it matters: The incident highlights enforcement pressure on NGOs publishing alleged GDPR compliance failures of major platforms.
