Interesting, when you read that article, it says that Meta will appeal, searching for the GDPR fine and the appeal, all I found was more fines, but no records of the results of any appeals.
Appeal never lodged as far as I can find searching tje Irish high court lists. They lodged appeals against a €90m fine though which started hearing last week, and withdrew an appeal against a 2018 €251m fine
Yeah sorry, €1.2bn was USD $1.3billion at the time and about 1.25bn now, so hardly misleading though.
I only noticed the € vs $ because I was searching for the case, so all good.
It’s telling that they continue to attract fines. I saw the ones you mentioned also but didn’t have the energy to start digging.
Despite assertions made to the contrary in this thread, I’m not at all convinced that they’re doing anything other than maximising shareholder value to the exclusion of all other considerations, including making a risk assessment in relation to paying fines versus compliance with the law.
