The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) settled a judicial review with Max Schrems and agreed to decide quickly on Facebook's EU‑US data flows. The settlement allows Schrems to be heard in the DPC's own‑volition procedure and to access Facebook's submissions. The DPC will handle the case under the GDPR, which permits fines up to 4% of global turnover.
Why it matters: The settlement could lead to GDPR enforcement that may halt or restrict Facebook's transatlantic data transfers.
