Meta fighting Nigerian fines, warns could shut Facebook, Instagram there
LAGOS: Meta on Saturday vowed to fight Nigerian fines for various consumer data violations as the US tech giant reportedly threatened to cut off Facebook and Instagram in Africa’s most populous country.
The social media juggernaut last week lost its latest legal bid when a Nigerian tribunal rejected its appeal against a $220 million fine imposed by the country’s consumer protection agency, the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
