Meta to Appeal 220 Million Fine by FCCPC

WhatsApp announced that its parent company, Meta, will appeal the 220 million fine imposed by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission FCCPC for violating Nigeria's data privacy laws. This announcement was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria NAN on Saturday.

The FCCPC, in a statement signed by its acting Executive Chairman, Adamu Abdullahi, accused Meta of denying Nigerian users control over their data.

In response, WhatsApp explained that in 2021, they informed users globally about how interactions with businesses would operate. Despite initial confusion, this feature has become quite popular.

We disagree with the decision today as well as the fine and Meta will be appealing the decision, WhatsApp stated.
