Italy's Data Protection Authority fined Meta €805 million over the Facebook Android app. Meta says it will appeal, Il Sole reports.

What happened

Italy's Data Protection Authority has fined Meta €805 million in a case tied to Facebook, according to Il Sole. The company has said it intends to appeal the decision.

The Authority says that through the Facebook app on Android devices, the company obtained access to photos, videos and related metadata stored on the phones of users in Italy. It says this happened without authorisation.

The sources provided do not give further details on the proceedings or on the timing of the appeal.

Context

Data protection authorities in Europe can fine companies for how they handle users' personal data, and companies can challenge those decisions through appeals.

Why it matters

A fine of this size and a pending appeal are regulatory developments that bear on Meta Platforms, though the sources do not say what the financial effects might be.
