Report reaching GhArticles.com reveals that Facebook and Instagram may be shut down in Europe if Meta is not allowed to transport, store, and analyze data from European users on US servers.

According to rhe report, Meta stores data from European users on American servers, which is controlled by the Privacy Shield and other model agreements, is now scrutinizing existing data transfer agreements by the EU

Many of Meta’s “most significant products and services,” like as Facebook and Instagram, would “probably” no longer be available in the EU if a new framework is not adopted, according to reports in iTWire, The Guardian newspaper, and Side Line Magazine.

Facebook and Instagram in Europe: ‘Life would be quite lovely without’

Meta emphasized that cross-border data sharing is essential for its services and targeted advertising.

As a result, it previously utilized the Privacy Shield transatlantic data transfer framework as a legal foundation.

Aufgrund of data protection infringement, the European Court of Justice dissolved this pact in July of 2020. EU and US have since said they are working on a revised pact.

Meta processes data from European users on American servers using the Privacy Shield and Standard Contractual Clauses.

These model agreements are also being scrutinized in Brussels and elsewhere in Europe.

Donald Trump Says That Despite Elon Musk Buying Twitter He Has No Plans To Return & Will Continue With His Own Truth Social Platform

Donald Trump

Following the big news of the day that the world’s wealthiest man, Elon Musk, successfully purchased popular social media platform Twitter for a massive $44 billion, many were immediately wondering if disgraced former president Donald Trump would be returning to the platform…and he just gave an answer.

Shortly after the news of Twitter’s new owner was confirmed, Donald Trump made it very clear that he still has no plans to return.

@HuffPost reports, during an interview with FOX News following the confirmation that Elon Musk was officially the new owner of Twitter, Donald Trump assured his fanbase that despite the new ownership he will not be returning—choosing instead to use his own Truth Social platform that was launched back in February. “I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on Truth,” he said, before adding that he thinks that Elon Musk will likely “make improvements” to Twitter and stated that [Musk is] a “good man, but I am going to be staying on Truth.”

Trump wasn’t done with his comments and also took the time to claim that his platform is doing better than Twitter:

“We’re taking in millions of people, and what we’re finding is that the response on Truth is much better than being on Twitter. Twitter has bots and fake accounts, and we are doing everything we can. The bottom line is, no, I am not going back to Twitter. We want liberty and justice and fairness in our country, and the more we can have open, the better. I don’t view that [Musk’s Twitter] as a competition for what I am doing.”

 As we previously reported earlier today, after weeks of intense speculation, it was finally made official that Elon Musk would be the new owner of the company after purchasing it for $44 billion.

Microsoft has launched its new facility for its premier engineering hub in Dunhill Towers in Westlands, Nairobi, three years after operating in the country.

Microsoft said the new facility would serve as a premier hub for driving engineering and innovation. The centre is one of Africa’s largest software engineering facilities and sets the standard for a new generation of technology hubs.

The centre will provide opportunities for engineering talent and the Microsoft Garage, an incubation hub launched as part of the ongoing efforts to scale tech innovation on the continent. The building, which cost $27million, also boasts of self-heating windows, a mini solar plant to power the facility, and a water treatment facility to recycle and purify the water.

According to BusinessDaily, the facility has been built similar to Microsoft’s global offices to optimise space utilisation, air conditioning, and lighting adjustments as part of Microsoft’s global ambition to be net carbon negative by 2030.

President Uhuru Kenyatta, who unveiled the new facility at Dunhill Towers, Nairobi, in the company of other dignitaries, expressed optimism that the facility will bolster the government’s push to secure high-tech jobs in the digital space for the youth.

“As a premier centre of research and development for Microsoft, we all remain confident that you – together with our young men and women – will build a local world-class talent and create innovative technological solutions that will yield global positive impacts,” said President Kenyatta.

He added that the centre would create full-time time jobs for Kenyans in software development, programme management, technical design, content writing, operations, research and applied sciences as part of the mutually beneficial partnership between the Government and Microsoft.

TikTok & Netflix Suspends Services In Russia Amid The Ongoing Invasion Of Ukraine–TikTok Suspends New Content & Live Streaming Due To New ‘Fake News’ Law 

The list of companies that have suspended their services in Russia continues to grow. On Sunday, TikTok and Netflix joined the list. TikTok has not completely suspended the use of their app, but only certain features. While a rep for Netflix has confirmed that the streaming service has been suspended in Russia.

According to NBC News, on Sunday, TikTok announced, that they have suspended new content and live streaming abilities on their platform in Russia. The suspension is due to Russia’s new “fake news” law, which has now made it an offense to “disseminate what it described as ‘fake’ information about the country’s armed forces.” TikTok said in a statement, “In light of Russia’s new ‘fake news’ law, we have no choice but to suspend live streaming and new content to our video service in Russia while we review the safety implications of this law.”

They continued to say, “Our in-app messaging service will not be affected. We will continue to evaluate the evolving circumstances in Russia to determine when we might fully resume our services with safety as our top priority.”

However, when it comes to Netflix, their service has been suspended in the country. The Hollywood Reporter states that a Netflix rep said, “Given the circumstances on the ground, we have decided to suspend our service in Russia.”

Many major companies such as Disney and Warner Bros. have announced that they were pulling their films from the country due to the invasion.

As previously reported, earlier this week, Apple announced that it would suspend product sales in Russia, and limit the access to some of their digital services.
