Ireland's data regulator has one month to make an order on blocking Facebook's transatlantic data flows, European Union regulators said on Thursday.
The European Data Protection Board, made up of national regulators, said in a statement on Thursday that a binding decision had been made on the issue and that the Irish regulator must adopt it within a month "at the latest".
While the statement did not say what the decision was, Dixon has said other regulators had not disputed her order to ban the data transfer mechanism. Meta, which has warned an order to ban the mechanism it uses to transfer data from Europe to the United States could force it to suspend Facebook services in Europe, declined to comment on the statement., which aims to offer EU citizens the same level of data protection as under European law, may be ready by July.
