EDPB to decide on Meta data transfer case by April 14

Politico reports the European Data Protection Board will deliver its binding decision regarding the lawfulness of Meta's EU-U.S. data transfers by April 14. The EDPB's ruling, via a dispute resolution mechanism under Article 65 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, concerns Meta's reliance on standard contractual clauses to facilitate EU-U.S. transfers under the now invalidated EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. Meta previously stated a ruling against its transfer practices would force it to cease operations in the EU. Editor's note: The IAPP's Jedidiah Bracy, CIPP, reported on the EDPB's move to an Article 65 procedure.
