Italy's competition watchdog has fined Facebook €7 million for "misleading" data protection practices. The tech giant has been accused of not accurately and fairly informing its users when their data was being collected, the Italian Competition Authority said.
The authority already fined the social media platform €5 million in November 2018 for unfair commercial practices and ordered it to adjust its practices. "Facebook Ireland Ltd. and Facebook Inc. failed to comply with the warning to remove the unfair practice on the use of user data and did not publish the corrective statement requested by the Authority," "They still do not provide immediate and clear information on the collection and use of user data for commercial purposes." ...

The platform said they had made changes to their terms of service to clarify how Facebook makes money, by charging businesses and other organisations to display ads. According to the AGCM,
the social network had deceived new users on the platform by not informing them "immediately and adequately" how it collects and uses their data for commercial purposes... Facebook was initially fined and ordered to publish a corrected statement on data policies on "the homepage of the company's website for Italy, on the Facebook app and on the personal page of each registered Italian user".
"The current investigation has ascertained that the two companies have not published the corrective statement and have not ceased the established unfair practice" ...
