Meta threatens to cut off Facebook in Nigeria over huge fines"The applicant may be forced to effectively shut down the Facebook and Instagram services in Nigeria in order to mitigate the risk of enforcement measures," the company said in the court papers. People in Nigeria may lose access to Facebook and Instagram after parent company Meta said it faced large fines and "unrealistic" regulatory demands from the Nigerian authorities. In its court submission, Meta said its "primary concern" was with the data commission, which it accused of "misinterpreting" data privacy laws. Meta was told it must provide an icon linking to educational videos about data privacy risks. Meta described the NDPC's demands as unfeasible, saying that the agency has failed to "properly interpret the laws guiding data privacy".
