Meta(FB.US)被歐盟罰近1700萬歐元 涉違隱私條例
格隆匯3月16日丨據市場消息,Meta因2018年未能阻止Facebook平台上的一系列數據泄漏,違反了歐盟的隱私規條,被罰款1700萬歐元。歐盟隱私監管機構據愛爾蘭數據保護委員會表示,發現Facebook未能就事件採取適當的技術及組織上的措施。2018年,Facebook成為歐盟《通用數據保護條例》(General Data Protection Regulation)的首個重大測試案例,愛爾蘭監管機構宣佈對一宗影響逾5000萬個賬户的違規事件展開調查。Meta在一份聲明中表示,這次罰款是關於公司2018年的記錄保存做法,並已作出更新,而不是未能保護用户的訊息。事實上,不少科網巨頭亦曾因《通用數據保護條例》規定被罰,迄今為止兩筆最大的罰款包括去年愛爾蘭當局對同屬Meta旗下的WhatsApp開出2.25億歐元罰款,以及盧森堡主要隱私監管機構對亞馬遜開出創紀錄7.46億歐元罰單。
