Ireland's Data Protection Commission announced on the 22nd the results of an investigation into the transfer of personal data from the EU to the United States by Meta's local subsidiary. This is the largest fines ever imposed under this rule.
Meta strongly objected to the decision to "appeal the decision such as unfair and unnecessary fines, which sets a dangerous precedent for many other companies" and indicated its intention to take legal action. It will impose a fine of 12.1790 billion euros on Meta, or about 2018 billion yen.
