Italy's Data Protection Authority has fined Meta €805 million for accessing Android users' photos and videos without specific consent. The investigation found that a Facebook gallery suggestion feature introduced in 2023 could access personal media without adequately informing users.
Affecting approximately 20 million users, the ruling requires Meta to disable the feature by default and obtain separate consent within 60 days.
