A series of rulings against Facebook parent company Meta represent an “existential” threat to the tech giant, according to an Irish data protection expert.

The Data Protection Commission has fined Meta €265m and ordered it to take “remedial action” in order to bring its data processing in line with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.
