Spain's data protection agency suspends two of Meta's EU election apps
May 31, 2024 3:14 AM

MADRID, May 31 (Reuters) - Spain's data protection

watchdog AEPD has ordered the provisional suspension of two

planned Meta products set to be deployed in the

upcoming European election on its social media platforms

Instagram and Facebook, it said on Friday.

The apps, named "Election Day Information" and "Voter

Information Unit", would potentially violate Spanish data

protection laws, AEPD said.
