A few days ago we talked about the possibility of the Meta group, owner of Facebook e Instagram, of leave Europe. All this was due to the new stringent rules of the European Community that "force" companies of this type to archive the data on servers in the area. Well, that's not exactly what Meta does and her policy is far from transparent. From that moment it seems that its words have been misrepresented However. Let's see the details.
It had been talked about before: for new European rules Facebook and Instagram could have left Europe… but this is absolutely not the case. Here's how things stand
Meta stated that he did not have "absolutely no desire to leave Europe". The company made clear of been misunderstood and that they have not threatened to remove Facebook and Instagram from European countries due to the surrounding uncertainty the transatlantic confidentiality agreement between America and the European Union.
Meta posted a post on the official blog where denies vehemently that it has ever threatened to shut down access to its main web resources, such as Facebook and Instagram, in the European Union. The company noted that was simply "identifying the business risk associated with uncertainty regarding international data transfers".
International data transfer is at the heart of the global economy and supports many services essential to our daily life. Businesses across all industries need clear global rules to secure long-term transatlantic data flows.
Meta
The company previously stated that "it probably won't be able to offer some of its most prominent products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in Europe". I all, except the United States and the European Union do not ratify a new data transfer agreement. The company also said it cannot depend on other existing mechanisms.
Subsequently, the German Minister of Economy Robert Habeck and the French finance minister Bruno Le Maire have stated that theEurope would be fine without Facebook and Instagram. Just to put your finger in the sore.
