17 Dec 2024 Meta Platforms, Inc.Meta: 50 million AUD payment programme for Australians affected by Cambridge Analytica Other
To end the civil penalty proceedings pending before the Federal Court since March 2020, the Australian Information Commissioner accepted an enforceable undertaking from Meta Platforms under which Meta sets up a payment programme of 50 million AUD for Australian Facebook users whose data may have been disclosed to the app “This is Your Digital Life”. The regulator said Meta had allegedly committed serious or repeated breaches of APP 6.1 and 11.1; the undertaking was given without any admission of liability, and the proceedings were withdrawn. Unused funds go to the Commonwealth budget; Meta also contributed to the regulator's legal costs.
Platforms must control which data third-party apps can access about users and their contacts.
