Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has become the latest technology company to be fined in Italy for violating the ban on gambling .

Meta was fined 5.85 million euros ($6.45 million) in relation to profiles and accounts on Facebook and Instagram, as well as sponsored content promoting either betting or games with cash prizes, communications watchdog AGCOM said in a statement on Friday.

Earlier this month, the authority announced the imposition of fines on Alphabet’s YouTube and Amazon’s Twitch for violating the ban.

YouTube and Twitch were fined €2.25 million and €900,000, respectively.
