Nigeria has accused Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, of running a negative public relations campaign after facing a $220 million fine from the country’s consumer protection agency. Despite Meta's appeal against the fine being dismissed in court, the company insists it faces unfair penalties from Nigerian authorities. Meta has hinted it might shut down its services in Nigeria to avoid further legal issues, a move challenged by the country's consumer agency. Meta's platforms are vital for many small businesses in Nigeria, with over 51 million users on WhatsApp alone.
Meta's threat to withdraw its services from Nigeria over a $220 million fine has been accused of launching a negative public relations campaign.
Regulatory agencies maintain that Meta's threat does not absolve the company of liabilities regarding the judicial process surrounding its fines.
