The Italian Data Protection Authority has imposed a fine of 805 million euros on Meta, the parent company of Facebook, for accessing user photos without obtaining separate consent for this specific use.
In a statement, the authority explained that Meta accessed photos and videos of Italian users through the Facebook application on Android devices. This access occurred without obtaining explicit consent and without adequately informing users.
A spokesperson for Meta stated that the company strongly disagrees with the authority’s assessment of the facts and its interpretation of the law. Meta believes that the imposed fine is disproportionate.
