Meta has been fined a record-breaking $1.3 billion by the European Union for transferring data belonging to Facebook's EU users to servers in the US. The fine is the largest ever levied under Europe's signature data privacy law, known as the General Data Protection Regulation. Meta's infringement is "very serious since it concerns transfers that are systematic, repetitive and continuous," said Andrea Jelinek, chair of the European Data Protection Board. Meta, which also owns WhatsApp and Instagram, said it would appeal the ruling, including the fine. There would be no immediate disruption to Facebook in Europe, the company said.
