A High Court judge in Ireland has ruled that Facebook should not be
investigated for alleged activities related to the sharing of user data
with the US National Security Agency (NSA).
High Court Justice Gerard Hogan ruled
Wednesday that Facebook won't need to face an investigation into its
alleged activities, following a ruling made by Ireland's data protection
commissioner who said the same. The commissioner argued that while
Facebook users have the right to know what's happening with their data,
there's no reason to hold an investigation into whether any of it was
shared with the NSA.
Facebook is among several companies, including Apple, Microsoft, and Skype, that have been charged by a group in Europe known as "Europe-v-Facebook (EVF)" with allegedly working with the NSA to provide data on their European users.
