28 Nov 2024 Meta PlatformsMeta: 5 million KRW for reporting an Instagram outage late €3,396
After a login outage of around 75 minutes on Instagram on 22 March 2024 that affected some 3.35 million users in Korea, Meta Platforms reported the incident only 24 hours and 19 minutes after it began, despite three requests from the Ministry. A report within 10 minutes and a written report within two hours are required; the Ministry imposed an administrative fine of 5,000,000 KRW under the Framework Act on Broadcasting and Communications Development (방송통신발전 기본법). The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.
Large platform operators need a rehearsed reporting process so that outages reach the regulator within the statutory deadlines measured in minutes.
