Meta, amendată cu 805 milioane de euro în Italia pentru că a accesat datele utilizatorilor de Android

Italy's data protection authority fined Meta €805 million for accessing Android users' photos and videos without consent. The investigation revealed that Meta accessed this content through a Facebook feature suggesting personal gallery items for publication. Meta has 60 days to disable this feature and seek user consent. The investigation, initiated in 2025, did not address the potential use of this content for AI training, which Meta denied. The authority may review a new feature launched in 2026 that processes user gallery content in the cloud. The fine is about 0.47% of Meta's global revenue.
