Ireland's High Court to allow Schrems into Meta data transfer case

Ireland's High Court will allow privacy rights group NOYB's Max Schrems to participate in two cases connected to Meta being barred from transferring EU user data to the U.S., The Irish Times reports. The cases are a Meta challenge of Ireland's Data Protection Commission prohibiting Meta from transferring user data and the subsequent 1.2 billion euro DPC fine issued to Meta for the transfers. Meanwhile, 27 data privacy advocacy groups signed onto a NOYB letter calling on EU data protection authorities to find Meta's pay or consent to targeted advertising model unlawful, Reuters reports.
