"In no case do we want to, nor do we have any plans to leave Europe," a Meta spokesman said in a statement, refuting the relevant scenarios that are making the rounds on the internet.
Specifically, the representative of Meta states the following:
«Σε καμία περίπτωση δεν επιθυμούμε, ούτε έχουμε κάποιο σχέδιο αποχώρησης από την Ευρώπη, αυτό που συμβαίνει είναι ότι η Meta, όπως και πολλές άλλες επιχειρήσεις, οργανισμοί και υπηρεσίες, βασίζονται σε μεταφορές δεδομένων μεταξύ ΕΕ και ΗΠΑ για να λειτουργούν κάποιες παγκόσμιες υπηρεσίες. Όπως και άλλες Companies, we have followed European rules and rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, but also on the necessary data safeguards for the operation of a global services. Essentially, businesses need clear, global rules to protect transatlantic data flows in the long term, and like more than 70 other companies across a wide range of industries, we are closely monitoring the potential impact on our European operations as these developments move forward.”
We remind you that international media reported that Mark Zuckerberg is considering closing Facebook and Instagram in Europe due to transatlantic data transfers.
However, according to the statement of Mrperson of companyno such issue exists.
