> According to Italy’s regulator, Facebook requested access to the gallery via a single authorisation valid for the entire app, preceded by a generic notice requesting enabling of other features, which did not allow users to understand that they were also authorising suggestions from their gallery.
Now I'm imagining something like "When I copy and pasted that text from my uncle Gigi that said that Facebook was not authorized to use my content, they didn't respect that!"
It sure is not, but compared to an Average Joe’s wallet, it’s a drop in a bucket for him. At the end of the day this price is the cost they are paying for doing business in free mode.
What is this financially illiterate nonsense? It's a fine that is certainly high enough that it incentives change (you don't want a repeat €805m fine on your balance sheet) and presumably that is what we care about. Because we are adults, and it's not about vengeance. It's about pushing people to do the right thing. Right?

This sounds so benign to me.

Suckerberg will not sleep tonight because his wallet is down 0.00000002%!
Its a metashock! I bet he won't be doing that anymore...
Is 805 million euros such a small amount for him?

Right...?
Punish corporations and be happy mantra strikes again for europoors.. kudos..
The Europoor slur has done more damage to the European self conception than anything since WWII
To be frank as an Italian I’m quite content that our government acts in our best interests.
Psst... don't feed the trolls.
