Facebook-Parent Meta Says It Has No Plans to Quit Europe Over Data Transfer Spat
Facebook’s parent company Meta said on Monday that it had no plans to pull its services from Europe, as the possibility has been raised amid an ongoing spat over the transfer of European data to the United States.
Data is at the heart of the advertising business, which generates almost billions of dollars in revenue for the company, and the framework governing the transfer of information from the continent is now in limbo.
“We have absolutely no intention or plan to exit Europe, but the simple reality is that Meta and many other businesses, organisations and services rely on data transfers between the EU and the US to operate global services,” the company said in a statement.
In July 2020, the crucial Privacy Shield online data arrangement between Europe and the United States was invalidated in a decision by the European Union’s top court that left big tech companies across the Atlantic in legal uncertainty.
Meta also noted in Thursday’s filing with U.S. market regulators that the basis it uses for data transfers is also in legal and regulatory jeopardy.
“Without the adoption of a new transatlantic data transfer framework…we may not be able to offer some of our most important products and services in Europe, including Facebook and Instagram,” Meta wrote in its Securities and Exchange Commission filing .
European authorities and the U.S. government are still discussing ways to solve the problem.
The social media giant recently suffered its worst market value slump on record after disappointing quarterly results raised questions about its future.
Its iconic Facebook platform saw a small drop in daily user numbers around the world through the end of 2021, the first such decline for a platform that is relentlessly focused on growth.
The company’s focus on adding users was at the heart of last year’s whistleblower scandal, in which leaked internal documents backed up news reports that the company prioritized growth over safety.

Surfaces of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra with Snapdragon 8S Gen 3
Early this week, renders of the Edge 50 Fusion appeared, and Motorola has previously stated that the Edge 50 Pro will ship on April 3. The highest-end smartphone in the Edge 50 series, the Edge 50 Ultra, has now been shown in renders.
The phone is depicted in the renderings in peach fuzz and black with a vegan leather finish, while sisal, a beige color, will have a brushed surface. As opposed to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the Pro variant and the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Edge 50 Fusion, the phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.
A 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom are all included in the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s feature set. Additionally, there is a triple LED flash on the right side and a laser autofocus feature above the periscope lens.
Although the phone’s display, battery, and charging specifications are yet unknown, the Edge 50 Pro is said to include 12GB of RAM and support both 50W and 125W wired and wireless charging.
It is anticipated that this will launch as the Motorola X50 Ultra in China. It is unclear if the India launch may be expected on the same day as the rest of the Edge 50 series phones, even if this is scheduled to go official on April 3.
