Meta and the EU: It's complicated -- and other TC news


Listen Later

This week Meta was ordered to suspend Facebook EU’s data flows and was hit with a fine of 1.2 billion Euros under GDPR. This fine has big implications for the way these companies will be allowed to collect and share data and it may lead to big changes - either in the laws that govern the use and protection of data, or in the way Meta and other tech giants operate at a fundamental level - or both. In this episode, Natasha Lomas is here to break down a years-long security saga that’s still unfolding.

Articles from the episode:

  • Meta ordered to suspend Facebook EU data flows as it’s hit with record €1.2BN privacy fine under GDPR
  • Twitter technical issues crash Ron DeSantis’s 2024 campaign announcement 
  • The surgeon general’s advisory on risks of youth social media use could shift the conversation
  • Virgin Orbit’s launch business sold for parts to Vast, Stratolaunch, and Rocket Lab
