The dispute is over Facebook's transfer of European data to US servers.
Facebook's owner, Meta, has been fined €1.2bn for mishandling people's data when transferring it between Europe and the United States.

And Austrian privacy campaigner Max Schrems filed a legal challenge against Facebook for failing to protect his privacy rights, setting off a decade-long battle over the legality of moving EU data to the US.
