Facebook's lead regulator in the European Union, the Irish Data Protection Commissioner (DPC), began an investigation into a number of breach notifications received from the social networking site.
"The Irish DPC has received a number of breach notifications from Facebook since the introduction of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) on May 25, 2018," a spokesman for the commissioner said in a statement, referencing Europe's new privacy regulations.
