Boom — record 1.2 BILLION euro fine for @meta under Europe's privacy rules. Takes collective fines under #GDPR to just under 4 billion euros since regime started in 2018. FWIW, that's less than @FTC's $5 billion fine against Facebook https://www.politico.eu/...

@Meta @FTC Fun fact: Ireland's @DPCIreland used @maxschrems and his repeated privacy complaints against @Google, which led to no fines, to argue that it shouldn't impose a fine on @Meta. So that's Dublin using arguably Europe's leading privacy campaigner as a reason why NOT to impose levy.
