Ireland’s online privacy watchdog has launched an investigation into Facebook after reports that data belonging to more than 500 million users worldwide was leaked online.
The Data Protection Commission (DPC), which is responsible for upholding privacy rights across the EU, said it had engaged with the social media giant about the issue in a statement on Wednesday.
The DPC said it is of the opinion that “one or more” data protections provisions may have been breached by Facebook.
