"Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, was recently hit
with three fines totalling more than US$290 million in Nigeria. The fines were
imposed by Nigeria’s Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission,
Nigerian Data Protection Commission and the Advertising Regulatory Council of
Nigeria. Meta was accused of invasive practices against data subjects and
consumers in Nigeria. The company denied the allegations and has challenged the
fines in court.

Entrepreneurship and international business researcher Tolu Olarewaju and
professor of entrepreneurship Jagannadha Pawan Tamvada explain the implications
of the fines."
