The fine over the Cambridge Analytica scandal is the maximum amount allowed under the Data Protection Act 1998. The ICO issued the preliminary fine back in July.

"We are currently reviewing the ICO's decision. While we respectfully disagree with some of their findings, we have said before that we should have done more to investigate claims about Cambridge Analytica and taken action in 2015," a Facebook spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
