Italy fines Meta $887M over sly access into Android users’ photo galleries
Resumen detallado
Italy claims Meta has violated European privacy laws, giving them a timeline to disable the feature.
Investigators found that the feature was enabled by default and that Facebook requested gallery access through a single permission covering multiple app functions with different purposes.
The fine was imposed on Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, which challenged Italy’s jurisdiction, according to the statement.
The authority said Meta’s “lack of cooperation” with the investigation factored into the penalty, which amounts to approximately 0.47% of the group’s global turnover.
