On Nov. 14, 2026 Italy's Garante fined Meta Platforms Ireland Limited €805 million, about 0.47 percent of group global revenue, over a Facebook Android feature that suggests photos and videos from the phone gallery. The authority says the feature, available since 2023 and on by default, involved about 20 million Italian Android users without specific consent, and it gave Meta 60 days to keep the feature off by default and ask for separate consent. Meta told CNBC and the BBC it will appeal and called the fine disproportionate; the Garante said the case does not cover AI training, which Meta denies.
