Italy fines Meta $887 million over privacy breach

Italian authorities have imposed a fine of $887 million on Meta, as reported by the Jerusalem Post and Maariv. According to the reports, the fine was issued after it was discovered that the Facebook app gained unauthorized access to photos and videos stored in the personal galleries of Android users, under the guise of a feature suggesting content for users to post.

Authorities emphasized that access to the private data was obtained without the consent required by law. Further details have not yet been released.
