Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has submitted a series of changes to its privacy compliance proposals in the United Kingdom, according to a statement released by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). This move comes in response to ongoing regulatory scrutiny and aims to align Meta’s practices with the stringent data protection standards established by UK authorities.
The CMA has been closely monitoring Meta’s operations, particularly concerning how the company handles user data and ensures privacy. This heightened scrutiny follows a broader global trend where technology giants are increasingly held accountable for their data protection policies
The CMA’s interest in Meta’s privacy practices intensified after several high-profile data breaches and controversies surrounding the misuse of personal data. The UK, post-Brexit, has emphasized maintaining robust data protection standards, akin to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.
