TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. The legal battle began in 2013 when Austrian lawyer and privacy activist Max Schrems filed a complaint about Facebook’s handling of his data following former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden’s revelations about U.S. cybersnooping.
——————————-
VERBATIM: The fine is the latest salvo in a decade-long case sparked by U.S. cybersnooping fears. Meta, which had previously warned that services for its users in Europe could be cut off, vowed to appeal. It also plans to ask the courts to immediately put the decision on hold.
