as informed in EU Facebook Fine ExplainedThe reason for the fine is making misleading statements to regulators, but let's dive a bit deeper. Facebook Offered Incorrect Or Misleading Info On WhatsApp DealThe EC hit Facebook with a $122 million fine for providing misleading or incorrect statements when the Commission investigated the WhatsApp deal under the EU Merger Regulation. The Commission notes that this decision to fine Facebook doesn't affect its previous decision to authorize the deal under the EU Merger Regulation. Facebook is in trouble in Europe, as the European Commission just slapped the company with a hefty 110 million euro fine (roughly $122 million). According to the EC, the social networking company said at the time that it could not automatically match Facebook and WhatsApp user accounts.

The EU is Fining Facebook €110 Million for Misleading it During the WhatsApp Takeover
During the takeover Facebook claimed it wouldn't be able to reliably automate the sharing of data between WhatsApp and Facebook. The social network has also halted WhatsApp data sharing across Europe, after coming under the scrutiny of privacy regulators. Specifically it was misleading about its ability to utilise data, and is receiving a fine of €110 million (£93.8 million). The European Commission has ruled that Facebook intentionally misled officials during its takeover of WhatsApp in 2014. This case was opened in December 2016, three months after Facebook decided it could link WhatsApp numbers to Facebook after all.
