Ireland’s Data Protection Commission ruled that Meta can't send personalized ads to its Facebook and Instagram users. As a result, it imposed a fine of 390 million euros ($411 million) on Meta for violating EU privacy laws when it said it can do so. Meta can appeal the ruling, but it's a long process that could take years. | Ireland’s Data Protection Commission ruled that Meta can't send personalized ads to its Facebook and Instagram users.
