The Data Protection Commission has fined WhatsApp Ireland an additional €5.5 million over breaches of Europe’s data protection framework and substantively revised its original ruling under instruction from Europe’s overarching privacy regulator.
On Thursday, the DPC – Meta and its platforms’ main supervisory authority in Europe – announced it has adopted a binding resolution of the European Data Protection Board . The board found that contrary to the DPC’s original 2021 ruling, WhatsApp is not entitled to rely on the legal basis it currently use to justify data collection within the European Union.
Having initially fined the social media messaging platform €225 million for various related breaches of GDPR, the DPC also on Thursday announced an additional €5.5 million fine for an additional breach. It is the third and final decision in series related to Meta platforms that the DPC was required to revise under instruction from the EDPB. Earlier this month, the regulator announced that it would dramatically increase fines against Facebook and Instagram after related rulings by the board before Christmas.
