EU data protection board draft decision imposes €390 million fine on Meta for forced consent

Sources disagree
noyb gives penalty 390 EUR; event has 390,000,000 EUR.

In December 2022, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) published a draft decision in the “forced consent” case against Meta, finding the company's practices violated the GDPR. The decision resulted in a €390 million fine. The case stemmed from a complaint filed by the non‑profit noyb.

Why it matters: The fine highlights heightened EU enforcement of consent requirements under the GDPR.
