2 min read
Italy's data protection agency fined Meta €805m, equivalent to $887m, for accessing photos and videos from 20 million Android users without specific consent. The penalty relates to a gallery suggestion feature available since 2023 and represents roughly 0.4% of the group's $201bn annual turnover in 2025. Meta plans to appeal the decision, calling the fine disproportionate.
