OSLO (Reuters) – Norway’s data regulator will refer the fine it has imposed on Meta Platforms to the European data authority, it said on Thursday, a move that could make the fine permanent and widen it to the European Union.
The owner of Facebook and Instagram has been fined one million crowns ($93,000) per day since Aug. 14, for three months, for breaching users’ privacy by harvesting user data and using it to target advertising at them.
($1 = 10.7328 Norwegian crowns)
