Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has been fined €805 million in Italy for accessing user photos without proper consent. The Italian Data Protection Authority reported that Meta accessed photos, videos, and associated metadata of Italian users through the Facebook app without adequate notification or consent. This fine follows a previous record penalty of $25 billion imposed on Meta in New Mexico for misleading residents about data usage. The Italian authority noted that the fine considers the large number of affected users and the ongoing nature of the violations. Meta is required to obtain specific consent for accessing user galleries and must clarify the purpose of such access.
