OSLO (Reuters) - Facebook and Instagram owner Meta Platforms will be fined one million crowns ($100,000) per day over privacy breaches unless it takes remedial action, Norway's data protection authority said on Monday, in a move that could have wider European implications.

Regulator Datatilsynet said it would charge the fine every day from Aug. 4 until Nov. 3 unless Meta takes action.
