In recent years, we have seen how Facebook does what it wants and nobody puts any kind of obstacles on it. The GDPR has caused many companies stop offering their services in Europe in addition to becoming a serious problem for those companies that live off user data.
After the announcement of the ruling of an Irish court, in which it obliges Facebook to store user data in Europe And that these do not leave the old continent has made the guys from Facebook very nervous, who in an outburst have manifested that they are considering leaving Europe.
All the data that is collected from Europe is sent to the United States, a movement that, according to the Irish justification, it is not covered by the GDPRTherefore, you cannot continue to do so if you want to continue providing your services in Europe. This decision forces the company to change its entire operations, being a severe blow to its main income base: advertisements.
According to the company, this will mean an increase in the price of the ads of its platform, nonsense since the tastes and preferences of European users have little or nothing to do with Americans. Facebook has requested, unofficially, that the Irish court's decision not be applied, something unlikely.
Instagram and WhatsApp could also disappear from Europe
Obviously, the announcement of the possible abandonment of Facebook by Europea is a bluff that the company that Mark Zuckerberg runs is obviously going to go wrong. Leaving the world market that is all of Europe is shooting yourself in the foot that no company is willing to give up.
Facebook, the entire group of companies that are part of Facebook, has no choice but to bow your head and comply with the GDPR, the most restrictive data protection law in the world.
