Facebook parent company Meta has been fined €17 million for breaching EU privacy rules.
The fine, imposed by the Irish Data Protection Commission, follows an investigation into 12 data breach notifications received by the watchdog between June and December 2018.
In a statement on Tuesday, the DPC said that it had found that Meta had infringed EU privacy rules.
It found that Meta failed to put in place “appropriate technical and organisational measures which would enable it to readily demonstrate the security measures that it implemented in practice to protect EU users’ data”.
