Which entity? I'm not sure the UK would have the mandate to fine a foreign company who's not operating in the UK. They'd just create a company whatsapp UK, license technology, have no other links to meta and have a revenue of about 0.
- tengwar2 4y agoThe UK government can legally fine any company doing business in the UK. It can probably fine any company anywhere. A financial fiction that "WhatsApp UK" had nothing to do with Meta is not going to affect that. It's just collection that is the problem, but I would imagine that they would go after Meta's UK advertising revenue.
