Data Privacy and breach are a big global scourge and having worked on several engagements covering many multinational companies, I perfectly understand FCCPC’s position and the fine meted out to Meta. However, one important factor to consider when imposing fine is leverage. Does Nigeria currently possess the leverage force Meta to pay $220m? Is the market big enough for Meta to consider paying that fine to remain in it? I don’t know. The solution going forward may be for parties to sit and negotiate a review of the fine. Folks have cited the fact that Meta just settled a similar case in Texas for $1.4B and is currently facing regulatory action in at least a dozen nations... that’s true but again, it is all about leverage. Texas and many of those advanced countries are key part of Meta’s global revenue and as such, the company is able to weigh its risk proportionately and it won’t threaten to exit because of the importance of the markets to its global existence.

Meta is undoubtedly subject to regulatory oversight and should be held responsible if FCCPA deems there has been a breach but it is important to recognize the leverage Nigeria has and how to use it to its advantage. FCCPC and Meta should sit down and talk.

[FCCPC Nigeria @fccpcnigeria]

WhatsApp's claim that it may be forced to exit Nigeria due to FCCPC's recent order appears to be a strategic move aimed at influencing public opinion and potentially pressuring the FCCPC to reconsider its decision.

The FCCPC investigated Meta Platforms and WhatsApp (jointly referred to as "Meta Parties") for allegedly violating the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA) and the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR).

The Commission found that Meta Parties engaged in multiple and repeated infringements of the FCCPA and the NDPR. These infringements included denying Nigerians the right to control their personal data, transferring and sharing Nigerian user data without authorisation, discriminating against Nigerian users compared to users in other jurisdictions and abusing their dominant market position by forcing unfair privacy policies.

The final order requires Meta Parties to take steps to comply with Nigerian law, stop exploiting Nigerian consumers, change their practices to meet Nigerian standards and respect consumer rights.

To deter future violations and ensure accountability for the alleged infringements the FCCPC also imposed a monetary penalty of $220 million.

The FCCPC's actions are based on legitimate concerns about consumer protection and data privacy and the order is a positive step towards a fairer digital market in Nigeria. Similar measures are taken in other jurisdictions without forcing companies to leave the market. The case of Nigeria will not be different.
