   FB had to disclose a full list of database tables that contain user identifiers and a list of 'data pipelines' for analytics.

   Unsealed court doc, 255 pages, listing 11,051 Hive tables and 1,190 source code files, from the NdCal/US lawsuit via @jason_kint@twitter.com:

     @jason_kint@twitter.com So 11,051 database tables that contain IDs or other means of identifying a FB user, and thus may contain 'personal data' under the GDPR.

     Did the Irish regulator or other EU authorities ever assess the legal compliance of this data processing? Did they even see this list at all?

     @jason_kint@twitter.com Of course it's difficult to make solid conclusions just based on the names of Hive database tables, but the list still provides interesting insight and is certainly very useful for further investigations by courts or regulators.

     Feel free to post interesting findings below.
