Facebook tells Irish court that probe threatens its EU operations - newspaper
Facebook requested and secured a temporary freeze on the order and a court review in the Irish High Court, which is due to consider the issue in November.
It is not clear to how, in those circumstances, it could continue to provide the Facebook and Instagram services in the EU, the newspaper quoted the affidavit as saying.
The affidavit has not been made public, a High Court spokesman said, and a Facebook spokeswoman did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
The Irish investigation follows a ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union in July on when SCCs can be used legally.
The ruling was in response to EU concerns that the surveillance regime in the United States might not respect the privacy rights of EU citizens when their personal data is sent to the United States for commercial use.
