Meta accused of ‘massive, illegal’ data collection operation by European consumer rights groups

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has been accused of ‘massive, illegal’ data processing by European consumer groups. The allegations come in the wake of the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe. The GDPR aims to give individuals control over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business. Meta’s data processing practices are now under scrutiny to ensure they comply with these regulations. The outcome of this investigation could have significant implications for Meta and other tech companies operating in Europe.
