Irish data protection commissioner set to issue decisions on Twitter and Whatsapp probes by end of year
The Irish data protection commissioner expects to issue decisions on investigations into Twitter and Whatsapp by the end of the year, a spokeswoman has said.
However, the effect of any sanction or fine, if issued, would not occur for “months” after that due to statutory examination processes.
Helen Dixon’s office concluded its investigation several weeks ago and is formulating draft decisions, possibly with the inclusion of a sanction, fine or regulatory order for Whatsapp and Twitter to change their own processes.
