Quick Glance: Meta fined $14 million by Australia for undisclosed data collection
  • An Australian court has ordered Meta Platforms, the owner of Facebook, to pay fines totaling $14 million for collecting user data through a smartphone app that was advertised as protecting privacy without disclosing its actions.

  • The Australian Federal Court also ordered Meta, along with its subsidiaries Facebook Israel and the now-discontinued app Onavo, to pay $400,000 in legal costs to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), which filed the civil lawsuit.

  • The fine concludes one aspect of Meta's legal issues in Australia related to its handling of user information since the global scandal involving its use of data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica during the 2016 U.S. election.

  • Meta still faces a civil court action by Australia's Office of the Information Commissioner regarding its dealings with Cambridge Analytica in Australia.
