Irish regulators also banned Meta from forcing European users to agree to personalized ads based on their online activity
with hundreds of millions in fines for online privacy violations and banned the company from forcing European users to agree to personalized ads based on their online activity.
The watchdog fined Meta €210-million for violations of the European Union’s strict data privacy rules involving Facebook and an additional €180-million for breaches involving Instagram. The decision stems from complaints filed in May 2018 when the 27-nation EU’s privacy rules, known as the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, took effect.
The Irish watchdog initially sided with Meta but changed its position after the draft decision was sent to a board of EU data protection regulators, many of whom objected.
