The September 2022 fine is the second-highest fine administered by any EU data protection authority under the GDPR to date. The highest being the €746m fine levied on Amazon by Luxembourg's DPA in July of last year. It is however, the highest fine levied on Meta under the GDPR and the largest fine issued to date by the DPC. It is also the third fine to be issued to a Meta-owned company by the DPC (there was the €225m fine for Whatsapp in 2019 and the €17m fine for Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd (Facebook) earlier this year). There are at least six other DPC investigations into Meta-owned companies in the pipeline.
