In October 2024 the International Enforcement Cooperation Working Group (IECWG) from the Global Privacy Agency(GPA) issued a Concluding Joint Statement on data scraping and the protection of privacy. It completes the Initial Joint Statement on data scraping and the protection of privacy published in August 2023. It contains three objectives: firstly, to outline the key privacy risks associated with data scraping; secondly, to set out how Social Media Companies (SMCs) and other organisations should protect individual personal information; and thirdly, to set out measures that individuals can take to protect their personal data. 

On June 6, 2024, the European Center for Digital Rights (Noyb) filed a complaint to 11 European Data Protection Authorities (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Spain) about Meta’s intention to change its privacy policy regarding, among other things, the use of personal data to train its current and future Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies.
