The GDPRs five-year anniversary is marked by record penalty targeting Meta
Five years have gone by since the implementation of the European Union\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation but managers at Meta Platforms aren\u2019t likely celebrate the milestone. On Monday of this week, the tech giant\u2019s Facebook social-media platform received a whopping $1.3 billion fine. The Meta unit was also told to stop transferring personal data from the EU to the US, in what is being described as the most consequential GDPR enforcement action that could be taken. On this week\u2019s podcast, our reporters mull over the impact of the EU privacy regulators\u2019 decision and what the GDPR has meant globally for privacy and data-security legislation.
