Ireland’s Data Protection Commission announced that Meta would be fined $1.3 billion for violating the EU’s General Data Protection Act. The EU said that Meta was transferring customer data between the EU and the United States, which runs afoul of what is perhaps the world’s strongest data privacy law. The World’s Marco Werman talks to Samir Jain, a policy director at the Center for Democracy and Technology, about why the fine was triggered, what the rationale was, and the implications for Meta and other tech companies going forward.
