Italian regulators are fining US-based Meta for accessing images without users’ “specific” consent, the country’s data protection authority said on Saturday.
The fine amounts to 805 million euros (equivalent to 8.94 billion kronor).
According to an investigation, the Facebook app for Android devices accessed photos, videos and metadata belonging to Italian users “without obtaining specific consent and without informing them correctly,” the authority said in a statement.
