GDPR violations result in $267M fine for WhatsApp

<p>WhatsApp has been fined &euro;225M after a GDPR investigation conducted by Ireland&#39;s Data Privacy Commissioner. The investigation started in December 2018, found that WhatsApp had not been transparent with how it shared its data with parent company Facebook. The DPC had initially submitted the decision in December 2020 but faced backlash from other EU regulatory bodies saying the previous fine of &euro;50mn was too small.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
