Meta’s total fine has raked up to $942 million in this case, because who’s counting? The company’s data protection practices have been deemed insufficient by the Irish Data Protection Commission. Again. Instagram and Facebook services are the culprits this time. The regulator wants changes, but we’ve heard that one before. Meta’s just getting started on its European fine collection tour, it seems.
