Turkey cracks down on Meta: interim ban on Instagram and Threads data sharing\u060c<\/p>\n

\n

Meta is not having a good start to the week. Turkey's competition watchdog has implemented a temporary restriction on Meta to block the exchange of data between Instagram and Threads.<\/p>\n

The reason is that there is an ongoing investigation into Meta's potential abuse of its dominant market position (via Reuters<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The action follows the watchdog's December opening of an investigation into Meta, Facebook's parent company, for potentially violating competition laws by linking Instagram to its new platform, Threads.<\/p>\n

The watchdog said the interim measure would be in force until a final verdict is reached, as data obtained and merged through these two apps could “violate competition law and cause irreparable damage.” on the market.<\/p>\n

Separately, Turkish authorities fined Meta 4.8 million lira ($148,000) daily as part of a separate investigation into a notification message the company sends to users about data sharing .
The notification regarding data sharing between the company's Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp<\/a> services did not provide enough information and was not transparent enough, he said.<\/p>\n

The authority also noted that the manner in which the notification prompts users to consent to data sharing does not adequately alleviate concerns about anti-competitive behavior.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
