Meta Platforms facing record EU privacy-infringement fine

Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc. is set to be handed a record European Union privacy fine eclipsing a €746-million (R15.6-billion) penalty doled out to Amazon.com Inc..

Ireland’s data protection commission will punish the social network giant for failing to heed a top court warning aimed at protecting users’ data from the prying eyes of US security services once it’s shipped to servers across the Atlantic, according to people familiar with the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
