Meta Challenges ₹10 Lakh CCPA Fine in Delhi HC Over Facebook Marketplace Listings
•Meta Platforms Inc. has challenged a ₹10 lakh penalty imposed by the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) in the Delhi High Court.
•The fine was levied for alleged unauthorized sale and listing of walkie-talkies on Facebook Marketplace.
•Meta argues that Facebook is a "notice board" for users, not an e-commerce platform like Amazon or Flipkart, and therefore CCPA lacks jurisdiction.
•Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi stated Facebook does not provide sale mechanisms, charge commissions, or allow commercial sales.
•The CCPA's January 1, 2026 order cited violations of the Consumer Protection Act and IT Rules due to walkie-talkie listings without mandatory disclosures.
