Twitter Faces Legal Action from Ireland's Data Protection Commission
DPC Launches High Court Proceedings
Legal Battle over Citizen Privacy
DPC Alleging Non-Compliance
The Data Protection Commission (DPC) in Ireland, has launched legal proceedings against Twitter in the High Court. The move seeks orders against Twitter, including ones suspending, restricting, or prohibiting Twitter's processing of personal data.
The DPC is the data protection regulator in Ireland.
DPC Citing Twitter's Non-Compliance
The DPC is taking this action due to its belief that Twitter has failed to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR is an EU regulation that sets out rules on the protection of personal data.
The DPC has specifically alleged that Twitter has failed to comply with the GDPR in relation to its processing of personal data for advertising purposes.
Legal Action Taken Earlier this Week
The DPC's legal action against Twitter comes after an earlier urgent application to the High Court earlier this week. This application sought to have Twitter stop processing personal data until the DPC's investigation into Twitter's compliance with the GDPR is complete.
The High Court granted this application.
Long-Term Legal Dispute
The DPC's legal action against Twitter is the latest development in a long-running dispute between the two parties. The DPC has been investigating Twitter's compliance with the GDPR since 2019.
Twitter has maintained that it is complying with the GDPR.
Conclusion:
The DPC's legal action against Twitter is a significant development in the ongoing dispute between the two parties. The outcome of the legal action could have a major impact on the way that Twitter processes personal data in the future.
