Listers, Are we likely to see more of this locally once the office of the Data Protection Commissioner settles? Best Regards ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Richard Hill via InternetPolicy <internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org> Date: Sat, Sep 4, 2021 at 7:34 PM Subject: [Internet Policy] WhatsApp fined a record 225 mln euro by Ireland over privacy To: <internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org> https://www.reuters.com/technology/irish-data-privacy-watchdog-fines-whatsap p-225-mln-euros-2021-09-02/ <https://www.reuters.com/technology/irish-data-privacy-watchdog-fines-whatsa…> Here are the first two paragraphs of the article: "DUBLIN, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Facebook's (FB.O) WhatsApp was fined a record 225 million euro ($266 million) by the Irish data protection regulator on Thursday after the EU privacy watchdog pressured Ireland to raise the penalty for the company's privacy breaches. "WhatsApp said the fine was "entirely disproportionate" and that it would appeal. Still, the Irish fine is significantly less than the record $886.6 million euro fine meted out to Amazon by the Luxembourg privacy agency in July."
