Meta will pay a sizable sum as a result of disregarding a warning from an EU court. A fine bigger than the previous record-breaking 746 million euros, or around R$ 3.98 billion, imposed against Amazon is now a possibility for the company.

Helen Dixon, the Irish Data Protection Commissioner, is also pleading with European authorities to forbid Facebook from using the method of transferring European data. Concerns about US spy services' potential access to this data are mounting.

As of 2020, the European Union will ban data transfers to US corporations. According to Meta, Facebook activity might need to be suspended if the information transportation mechanism is made illegal. Mark Zuckerberg's business has not yet reacted to the looming sanctions.

The EU's decision serves as a guideline for global IT oligopolies. It emphasises the growing hostility between major technical businesses and the nations in which they do business. Conflicts like this one over user rights and data protection will increase in frequency as the digital age progresses. Is it necessary for businesses like Meta to review their data transfer procedures in order to ensure compliance with local laws?

The harsh EU penalties for Meta's Facebook data transfers serve as a sobering reminder of how crucial data privacy is in the hyperconnected world we live in today. It serves as a reminder that internet service providers from all over the world need to abide by and respect data privacy rules. The future growth of the global tech industry will undoubtedly be significantly influenced by how user data is managed.
