The Irish privacy authority has decided to impose a record fine of 1.2 billion euros on Meta for violating European privacy law. This was announced by the European Privacy Supervisor.
The fine, the highest ever imposed in this field, was imposed on Meta following the transfer of personal data to the United States in violation of EU provisions. The company will appeal against the sentence and against the unjustified fine and ask for a suspension of the requests through the courts, write Nick Clegg and Jennifer Newstead in an official post.
