Advocacy group NOYB has filed a complaint against Facebook-owner Meta’s new paid no-ads subscription service saying that it amounted to paying a fee to ensure privacy.

A not-for profit organisation has launched a High Court challenge over what it claims is the Data Protection Commissioner's failure to progress complaints made about the unlawful processing of personal data by social media platforms in 2018.

The case last year went to the Court of Justice of the EU (ECJ) in Strasbourg which examined the validity or otherwise of European Commission decisions approving EU-US data transfer channels used by Facebook and others.
