Facebook operator Meta granted permission by High Court to challenge possible €430m fine

Complaint was made in July 2018 by a Facebook user regarding access to personal data held by Meta in a digital warehouse 

Meta also argues that the relevant State watchdog, the Data Protection Commission, acted outside its powers by widening its investigation, broadening it to all users of Facebook.

Facebook operator Meta has been granted High Court permission to challenge a possible fine of up to €430m that could be levied against the tech giant originating from a single complaint relating to personal data processing.

Meta also argues that the relevant State watchdog, the Data Protection Commission (DPC), acted outside its powers by widening its investigation, broadening it to all users of Facebook.
