Problems started almost immediately when users and European watchdogs objected to the messaging EU 's decision to share user data with app , the European headquarters of which is in Dublin . Facebook was persuaded to suspend data sharing in both the Republic of Ireland and the UK , but the company was still fined $135m by Facebook regulators.
