The authority said it reserves the right to conduct a separate investigation into a new feature launched in 2026 that allows content from users’ galleries to be processed in the cloud. Meta didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The penalty was imposed on Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., the company’s main European subsidiary. The size of the fine also takes into consideration a previous 2019 enforcement action against the company, the regulator said.

The fine is equivalent to about 0.47% of the group’s worldwide revenue, the Italian authority said.
