Meta Files Judicial Review Against Ofcom Over Online Safety Fee Calculation

GateNews

According to Reuters, Meta has filed a judicial review against the UK media regulator Ofcom over how fees and potential penalties are calculated under the Online Safety Act. Ofcom ties charges to a provider’s qualifying worldwide revenue; Meta argues fees and fines should link only to services regulated in the country. Under the law, penalties can reach up to 10% of a company’s qualifying worldwide revenue or 18 million pounds (US$24.5 million), whichever is higher. Based on Meta’s reported US$201 billion in revenue, a single serious breach could theoretically result in a fine of approximately US$20 billion. Ofcom said it will defend its approach in court.
