Facebook Inc. temporarily escaped daily fines in a tussle with the Dutch privacy regulator over its revamped policy for users’ photos and data.
The Dutch watchdog said Wednesday it lifted the threat of combined penalties totaling as much as 750,000 euros ($845,000) after Facebook agreed to provide information needed to weigh the next steps in the investigation announced in December. The decision comes after Facebook opted to take the case to court.
