Irish DPC submits draft decision inquiry into Instagram

The Irish Data Protection Commission announced Tuesday it submitted an Article 60 draft decision inquiry into Instagram relating to the processing of personal data of children by Facebook Ireland. Other concerned supervisory authorities now have one month to send back any "reasoned and relevant objections." Meanwhile, the DPC also responded to public criticism levied about meetings it held with Facebook dating back to 2017 and 2018 relating to whether social network users could be targeted with advertisements via contract instead of consent. Politico reported that noyb, the group founded by Max Schrems, obtained the documents in question via freedom of information law.
