23 Apr 2025 MetaDMA: 200 million EUR against Meta over ‘consent or pay’ model EU levelPlatform obligations €200m

Between March and November 2024, Meta offered users of Facebook and Instagram only the choice between consenting to the combination of their data for personalised advertising and a paid subscription. The European Commission saw this as a breach of the obligation under the Digital Markets Act (DMA) to offer an equivalent, less data-intensive alternative, and imposed 200 million EUR.

What organisations can take from it

A binary ‘consent or pay’ is not sufficient where the law requires an equivalent option involving less data processing.
