Facebook to Shrink GDPR Liability with New Service Terms


The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) seeks to create a harmonized Data Protection Law framework across the EU and aims to give Citizens back the Control of their Personal Data, whilst imposing Strict Rules on those Hosting and ‘Processing’ this Data, anywhere in the World.

Facebook Inc. said Thursday that more than 1.5 Billion Users who had agreed to be Governed by Irish Law will be asked to Sign New Terms of Service with its U.S. California Headquarters, in a shift that would push those Users beyond the Reach of the European Union's New Data Regime.

Also starting next month, the Social Network will shift Legal Responsibility for Facebook Users Outside the EU, U.S. and Canada to the Company’s Main Headquarters in California.

This shift also will push those Users beyond the Reach of the European Union's New Data Regime.
