Spain court orders Meta to pay media 479 million euros for 'unfair competition'

A court in Spain said Thursday it has ordered Facebook owner Meta to pay local media outlets 479 million euros ($552 million) in compensation for "unfair competition."

The Madrid commercial court ruled that Meta gained a "significant competitive advantage" by running ads on its social media platforms in violation of EU data protection rules, according to the ruling.
