As of Wednesday 4th Jan, Meta has once again been hit with a major GDPR violation, earning itself more than $400 million in fines for its latest data privacy misstep. The EU’s Ireland-based Data Protection Commission levied two sets of fines after ruling that EU-based users have been illegally forced to accept personalized, targeted ads from both Facebook and Instagram.
This GDPR ruling is one of the most severe since GDPR was first instituted in 2018, but it’s certainly not Meta’s first expensive run-in with the regulation. In this report, we’ll share what we know about Meta’s latest violation, and we’ll dive a little deeper into Meta’s troubled past with GDPR.
