Brazil's National Consumer Secretariat, the Senacon, announced a 6.6 million real fine against Meta's Facebook related to the 443,000 Brazilians swept up in the 2018 Cambridge Analytica scandal. The Senacon said it overturned the case regarding "failures to inform about privacy settings" in July, but decided to bring the fine after Facebook did not recognize any wrongdoing. The fine may be lowered by 25% if Facebook foregoes an appeal.
