Facebook parent Meta Platforms will appeal nearly $414 million in fines imposed by European Union regulators for privacy violations.
The Data Protection Commission (DPC) in Ireland imposed two fines: 210 million Euros ($222.4 million) for breaches of the GDPR relating to its Facebook service and 180 million Euros ($190.6 million) for breaches in relation to its Instagram service. It also banned Mark Zuckerberg's company from forcing users in the bloc to agree to personalized ads. Meta plans an appeal.
Meta Ireland has also been instructed to "bring its data processing operations into compliance within a period of [three months."
