Meta Fined In Ireland

Jonathan Armstrong and Tom Fox return for another episode of the award-winning Life with GDPR. In this episode, we discuss the recently released find by the Ireland Data Protection Commission against Meta for two legacy companies, €210m for its Facebook operation and €180m for Instagram for GDPR breaches.  The DPC also ordered Meta to change its data protection practices within three months.  Those changes may have a more lasting effect on Meta than the fines.  The two fines come in fifth and sixth places, respectively, in the largest GDPR fines of all time.

Some of the highlights  include:

  1. What were the facts?
  2. Why this matter has far wider implications than simply Big Tech.
  3. Max Schrems says this is a huge blow for Meta.
  4. The convoluted appeal process is going forward.
  5. Lessons learned.
