| Apparently the Irish Data Protection Commission is going to bust Facebook. Facebook leak: Irish regulator probes 'old' data dump: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56639081 I hope https://NOYB.eu is aware of this breach. Of course Facebook, or even FAANG, for that matter, would keep all of the data that they hoarded from EU citizens, illegally. It goes along well with the Silicon Valley mentality (I am culturally American and I am from the west coast of the US, so I understand what is going on here. I also hold EU citizenship...) The number one rule is "don't get caught". The "move fast and break things" mantra still holds well for Facebook. So, no surprise that they were sloppy with things, and got caught. If you want to check if you were caught up in being Facebooked (data leaked), the download to the data dumps are here: https://archive.is/MZqak I am furious at the moment because I found my (fraternal) twin brother's info in the data dump files. :-( |
I doubt it. They spent 7 years on a case against Facebook doing the absolute minimum necessary. NOYB are suing the Irish DPC in an attempt to get them to do their jobs. It’s a mess. Irish DPC apparently only investigated 83 GDPR cases and over 4000 “concluded without inquiry”. They only made 11 data protection decisions last year, compared to 600 by Spain whose data protection branch has a similar budget.
