Meta was fined $410 million (€390 million) for violating EU data rules.

According to the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC), Meta's request for permission to use people's data for adverts on Facebook and Instagram was illegal.

Meta, the company that owns both platforms, has three months to modify how it acquires and utilizes data to target advertisements.

Meta expresses "disappointment" and plans to appeal, emphasizing that the judgment does not preclude tailored advertising on its platforms.

According to the authority, Facebook and Instagram cannot "forced consent" by requiring users to agree on how their data is handled or leave the platform.

Because Facebook and Instagram have European headquarters in Ireland, the DPC guarantees that they follow EU data protection laws.

Privacy advocates say the judgment is a significant victory because it requires Meta to give people meaningful control over how their data is used to target online adverts.All Rights Reserved
