Meta Platforms Inc. has once again threatened to pull Facebook and Instagram from Europe if it is unable to keep transferring user data back to the U.S., amid negotiations betwregulators to replace a scrapped privacy pact.
European Union regulators have for months been stuck in negotiations with the U.S. to replace a transatlantic data transfer pact that thousands of companies relied on, but which got struck down by the EU Court of Justice in 2020 over fears citizens’ data isn’t safe once shipped to the U.S.
In its annual report published Thursday, Meta said that if it couldn’t rely on new or existing agreements -- such as so-called standard contractual clauses -- to shift data, then it would “likely be unable to offer a number of our most significant products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in Europe.”

3/2/18 Spain-Terrorism: Spain jails another rapper for praising terror groups
A court in Madrid has sentenced Spanish rapper Pablo
Hasel to two years in prison for glorifying terrorism and insulting the
Spanish royal family. The case has sparked a debate about free speech in
Spain.
The Spanish National Court handed rapper Pablo Hasel a two year jail sentence and fined him €24,300 ($30,000) on Friday for praising terror groups, inciting violence and insulting the Spanish Crown and state institutions.
The ruling said Hasel, whose real name is Pablo Rivadulla, made the offending statements on Twitter and in a song posted to YouTube.
It's the second time in as many weeks that a Spanish court has sent a rapper to prison.
Just a few days ago, the Supreme Court upheld the conviction of a rapper called Valtonyc, who was given a three-and-a-half year jail sentence for glorifying terrorism, insulting the Spanish royals and threatening politicians in his lyrics.
Note EU-Digest: the people who argue that these sentences in Spain go against Free Speech should have their heads examined. Free Speech is not a free ticket to glorifying terror and murderers.
