Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has appealed a fine imposed by Norway’s data regulator for violating user privacy. The case centers around allegations that Meta harvested user data for targeted advertising purposes. The company is seeking a temporary injunction against the regulatory order, which imposes a daily penalty until November 3. Meta claimed in court that it is committed to obtaining user consent for advertising purposes. The Norwegian data regulator, Datatilsynet, had informed Meta of the fine previously, but the company argues it was not given sufficient time to respond. The case could have wider implications for data privacy across Europe if the European Data Protection Board agrees with the Norwegian regulator’s decision. The hearing is expected to last two days.
