Italian authorities have fined Meta 805 million euros for using photos and videos from Android devices without explicit user consent. The fine relates to a feature that suggests media from users' galleries for Facebook posts, violating Italian ePrivacy laws. The investigation revealed that permission for accessing the photo gallery was granted through a single, vague consent request, preventing users from understanding the extent of the access. Meta has 60 days to obtain separate consent and clarify how the feature works, which must also be disabled by default for all users.
