FACEBOOK TO PAY €110M FOR ‘MISLEADING’ EU OVER $19BN WHATSAPP TAKEOVER
Facebook has been fined €110m (£95m) for “misleading” European authorities over its $19bn takeover of the instant messaging service WhatsApp.
The social network was accused by the commission of falsely claiming that it was impossible to automatically merge user information from WhatsApp and Facebook. This followed a decision taken by WhatsApp last summer to share data with Facebook for advertising purposes, a practice which was halted in November.
The European Commission said in a statement: “The Commission has found that, contrary to Facebook’s statements in the 2014 merger review process, the technical possibility of automatically matching Facebook and WhatsApp users’ identities already existed in 2014, and that Facebook staff were aware of such a possibility.”
