In a recent development in technology, Meta has given a threat that the social media apps, Facebook and Instagram could be ban in Europe, UK.

Mark Zuckerberg threatened to pull core services from the region following a dispute over data protection laws with Europe.

Meta has quietly issued a warning saying that it could shut down the services if Europe doesn’t let it perform transatlantic data transfers.

This means transferring people’s private data from secure servers in Europe, where they are heavily regulated, to the US.

In an annual report to a US government agency, Meta said that the company will probably have to stop offering its most significant products and services if a new framework is not adopted.

“If a new transatlantic data transfer framework isn’t adopted, we would be unable to operate in Europe,” a Meta report stated.

“We have absolutely no desire and no plans to withdraw from Europe, but the simple reality is that Meta, and many other businesses and services, rely on data transfers between the EU and US in order to operate.”
