The Big Tech ShowMeta fines, layoffs and Ireland’s legal fight to avoid getting €14bn in Apple back taxes

First, we have the news of Meta's €1.2 billion fine imposed by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner, which didn't want to impose that fine.

Adrian discusses the latest, including the Meta layoffs announced this week.
