Italy has fined Meta 805 million euros, or about $887 million, for accessing Android users’ photographs and videos without their consent. The country’s data protection authority said the violations involved a Facebook feature that suggested content from users’ personal galleries. Meta has 60 days to disable the feature by default and seek users’ consent separately. The investigation, which began in 2025, did not examine whether the content may have been used to train artificial intelligence models, a practice Meta denied. The fine is equivalent to roughly 0.47% of the group’s global revenue.
