Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is actively challenging recent legal penalties in two jurisdictions.

The specifics of the UK penalties and the US case were not detailed in the source, but both actions reflect Meta’s ongoing response to regulatory and legal scrutiny in multiple markets.
