    Facebook Inc on Monday requested the chance to voice its opinion in a legal challenge mounted by an Austrian law student against the Irish privacy regulator for refusing to investigate the US company's transfers of data to the United States.

    Major US tech companies such as Microsoft Corp and Apple Inc as well as Facebook came under fire after revelations in 2013 of the US government's Prism programme, which allowed US authorities to harvest private information directly from those companies.

    Austrian law student Max Schrems challenged Facebook's transfers of European users' data to its American servers, because of the risk of US snooping in light of disclosures by former US National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
