Similar accusations were made to Facebook by regulators from Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands.
"You can not have 28 regulators, each of which wants to change your company," commented on the situation, a top manager of Facebook.
Yesterday, Megamind wrote that the ministers of justice in 28 EU countries had completed the development of a unified legislation on the protection of personal data. This project is designed to supplement and unify the relevant laws of EU countries. Its development was begun in 2012.
