The largest and most famous social network in the world, Facebook, is threatening to stop its operations completely in Europe, along with the Instagram network owned by the same company, in the event that the European Union goes ahead with imposing a ban on sharing data with the United States.
The warning from the American social networking giant “Facebook” came in the wake of the Irish Data Protection Commissioner to ban data sharing after the European Court of Justice found that the platforms did not have sufficient safeguards to prevent “American intrusion” on European users.
And the assistant general counsel of “Facebook” wrote in a lawsuit in Dublin that the ban would make “Facebook” unable to provide its services in Europe, according to what the British newspaper “The Sun” quoted in a report seen by “Al Arabiya Net”.
But “Facebook” later denied that the court file in Ireland represented a threat to the company’s operations in Europe.
The Sun quoted a Facebook spokesperson as saying: “There is no threat of withdrawing from Europe,” noting that “the legal documents submitted to the Irish Supreme Court define a simple fact that Facebook and many other companies, institutions and services depend on data transfers between The European Union and the United States to operate their services. “
“The lack of safe and legal international data transfers would harm the economy and hinder the growth of data-dependent businesses in the European Union,” he added.
Nick Clegg, Vice President of Global Affairs and Communications at Facebook, said in a post on a moratorium earlier this month: “In July, the European Union Court of Justice annulled the so-called Privacy Shield, a legal framework that regulates transfers of personal data from whom The European Union to the United States. “
This legal battle began in 2011 when Austrian lawyer Max Schrimms filed privacy complaints with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner.
Check Point researchers have discovered a flaw in the social network Instagram. It could allow hackers to take control of accounts and use their GPS location, contacts, and the device’s camera and microphone as they see fit. Facebook claims that this flaw has not been exploited by hackers, but the social network cannot be 100% certain. Here is how to guard against these flaws …
Instagram has more than a billion users around the world. It is therefore normal that this social network adored by adolescents (and even adults) is the prey of hackers of all kinds who seek to extract sensitive information from users.
That said, a huge flaw has been detected by security researchers at Check Point, explains “all colors of communication” consultant, Justine Mathys, in a statement.
A three-step attack
To take the phone, only one photo is needed, as well as three steps:
The attacker sends an image loaded with a code to his target, via WhatsApp or another content exchange platform. If the user saves the image on his phone (either automatically via WhatsApp for example, if we do not change via the preferences in the settings, or manually) and then opens Instagram, the hacker obtains full access to the Instagram account of the user. user, as well as all the features that Instagram can access, including the phone’s microphone and camera.
What happens after?
The victim’s phone becomes an instrument of espionage for the hacker who does what he wants with it! “For example, he can read private messages on the Instagram account, delete or insert photos at will, or even adapt the profile data associated with the account”.
But that’s not all: “The Instagram app itself has extensive permissions that give access to other functions of the user’s phone. The hacker can therefore consult contact details, location data, cameras and files saved on the phone, thus transforming the smartphone into a perfect spy instrument. The ‘least serious’ damage that a hacker can cause is to cause the application to crash ”. If this is the case, the hacker no longer has access, but the victim must reinstall the application and risk losing existing data.
What to do to protect yourself?
Besides the responsibility of the developers, there is also that of the consumer. When downloading an app, it requires a series of permissions to function properly. Yaniv Balmas, Cyber Research Manager at Check Point, points out: “It is very easy to click ‘Yes’ and then lose sight of it. In fact, this is one of the strongest lines of defense an individual has against mobile cyber attacks and I would advise everyone to take a minute to think about it: do I really want to give this app access to my camera, mic, etc. ? “.
Check Point researchers reported their find to Instagram owner Facebook, who immediately responded with updates.
Three key tips
1. Update your application AND the phone’s operating system. Dozens of security patches are sent, via updates to, among other things, protect privacy.
2. Reading application permission requests. Some are not necessary!
3. Think before you approve anything. “Do I really want to grant this app that much access?” Do i really need it? If the answer is no, do not allow it ”.

Facebook could stop the operation of the social network and Instagram in Europe if the company is prevented from transferring data from the European Union to the United States. The threat refers to the ongoing legal dispute between the web giant founded and led by Mark Zuckerberg and the Irish Data Protection Commission, the regulatory body to which the company must respond since it is based in Dublin. The latter questions the legitimacy, under EU rules, of the constant sending of personal data of EU citizens to the servers of the digital giant located in the United States.
Facebook has contested the preliminary order issued earlier this month by the Irish authority that threatens to prevent Facebook from transferring European data to the United States for privacy reasons. In the event that the Irish authorities were to confirm the request for complete suspension of the transfer of user data to the United States, “it is not clear how, in such circumstances, we can continue to provide Facebook and Instagram services in the EU”, he written Yvonne Cunnane, Facebook’s Irish lawyer, adding that Facebook has 410 million monthly active users in Europe.
A Facebook spokesperson later denied that this posed a threat of leaving the EU. “Facebook does not threaten to withdraw from Europe. Legal documents filed with the Irish High Court affirm the simple reality that Facebook, and many other companies, organizations and services, rely on data transfers between the EU and the US to operate their services “, reads a note.
“A lack of safe, secure and legal international data transfers would harm the economy and hinder data-driven business growth in the EU, even as we work towards a recovery from Covid-19,” the company adds.
