ISTANBUL: Turkiye鈥檚 competition authority said on Wednesday it had decided to fine Facebook parent Meta Platforms 4.8 million Turkish lira ($160,000) a day for failing to provide sufficient documentation as part of a previous investigation. 

In a statement, the Turkish Competition Board said the result of a 2022 online video advertising market investigation required Meta to submit a document detailing compliance measures to stop its violation of the law and to reestablish competition in the market. 

The authority said it did not find explanations in Meta鈥檚 compliance measures submitted to the board sufficient and decided to impose a daily fine effective from Dec. 12 until a final compliance solution is submitted to the board. 

鈥淲e disagree with the Turkish Competition Authority鈥檚 findings but will continue to constructively cooperate with the Turkish Competition Authority to resolve the matter without delay", a spokesperson for Meta said. 

In 2022, the authority decided to fine Meta 346.72 million lira for violating competition law.
