Image Credit: arise- The Newspaper Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria (NPAN) supports the $220 million fine imposed on Meta Platforms by Nigeria’s Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), upheld by the Competition and Consumer Protection Tribunal (CCPT).
- The fine followed a 30-month investigation into Meta’s unauthorized data sharing and discriminatory practices against Nigerian users, marking a significant step for digital rights enforcement in Nigeria.
- NPAN situates this decision within a global trend where regulators have fined major tech companies like Meta, Amazon, TikTok, Google, and Apple for data breaches and anti-competitive behaviors.
- The association advocates for robust digital regulation in Nigeria to protect citizen rights, promote fair remuneration for publishers, and encourage ethical digital platform operations.
