Google, Meta Files Lawsuit Against Rs 629-Crore South Korean Watchdog Penalty

ABP News  

Facebook-parent Meta Platforms and search giant Google have taken legal action against a ruling made by South Korea's data protection watchdog, Personal Information Protection Commission, which imposed a fine of KRW 100 billion for the illegal collection of personal data without user consent for online advertising purposes. This fine was the highest ever imposed for an alleged violation of personal information protection law, according to Yonhap news agency, citing industry sources. In addition to the fine, the PIPC also ordered Google and Meta to obtain user consent before gathering or using user behaviour data on websites or applications outside of their platforms and to clearly and simply inform their users. Meta is reportedly considering allowing users aged 13 to 17 to access its social virtual reality platform, Horizon Worlds, in an effort to grow its VR business.
