The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) issued a final decision imposing a €150 million fine on Facebook for transparency failures and a €60 million fine on Meta for lacking a legal basis to process personal data. The decision also orders Meta to stop relying on Article 6(1)(b) for behavioural advertising and to comply with the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) order within three months.
Why it matters: The enforcement action highlights significant regulatory scrutiny of Meta's consent practices and could reshape how online platforms obtain and use user consent in the EU.
