Facebook and its Irish data regulator gave conflicting signals Thursday about what caused the tech giant to postpone the European launch of its vaunted dating app.
The regulator said Facebook only informed it about the new product's launch on February 3.
Facebook told AFP that it was "Under no legal obligation" to inform the regulator about anything.
Facebook told AFP it had completed the assessment "Well in advance" and shared it with the regulator "When they asked for it".
The regulator said it would have simply had to request the exact same data assessment from Facebook if it had launched the app without any notification at all.
