22 May 2023 at 14:22 Meta appeals billion-dollar fine from the EU Facebook owner Meta receives a $1.3 billion fine from the EU for selling privacy data to the US. The company will appeal the fine and warns against a dangerous precedent. The amount corresponds to approximately NOK 14 billion, and Meta is given five months to stop transferring data from Europe to the US. It is the Irish data protection authority DPC that fines the technology giant. The reason is a violation of European privacy rules, according to Politico. Meta owns, among other things, the social networks Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
