Ofcom fines Meta £450,000 over inaccurate WhatsApp Business data

Ofcom fined Meta £450,000 for repeatedly providing inaccurate information about WhatsApp Business in response to formal requests during a review of business bulk-text messaging services. The errors took multiple requests to correct, and the regulator said Meta breached requirements under the Communications Act across two inquiries. Meta said it treats its compliance obligations as a priority and cooperated with the inquiry.
