Ireland fined WhatsApp a record 225 million euro for privacy breaches. WhatsApp, which Facebook ($FB@US) owns, plans to appeal. Ireland’s Data Privacy Commissioner (DPC), the lead data privacy regulator for Facebook within the European Union, said the issues related to whether WhatsApp conformed in 2018 with EU data rules about transparency. This includes information provided to data subjects about the processing of information between WhatsApp and other Facebook companies.
