Italy fines Meta €805 million over Android users’ photo and video access Read more at straitstimes.com.

Meta had access to Android users’ photos and videos through a Facebook app feature that suggested content from users’ personal galleries that they could post, the authority said in a statement.

The investigation, which began in 2025, did not cover the possible use of the content to train artificial intelligence models, a practice Meta denied, the authority said.

It added that it reserved the right to assess separately a new feature, launched in 2026, that allows content from users’ galleries to be processed in the cloud.

The fine is equivalent to about 0.47% of the group’s global revenue, the authority said. REUTERS
