The Data Protection Commissioner is “troubled” by Facebook getting comments from the US government on draft reports the company obtained from US law experts on the ongoing Irish action over EU-US data transfers, the High Court was told.
Austrian lawyer Max Schrems, whose complaint over transfer of his data led to the case, shares the commissioner’s concern, the court heard.
