FG Urged to Investigate Google, Meta, TikTok Over Privacy

Nigerian consumer media organizations have called on the federal government to investigate major technology companies, including Google, Meta, TikTok, X, and Amazon, over allegations of privacy harm to Nigerians. The organizations, represented by the Business Democracy Institute, have expressed concerns regarding the adverse effects of unchecked digital market dominance by these companies.

They insist that regulatory intervention is necessary to protect Nigerian consumers from potential privacy violations. The organizations have warned that they may pursue legal action if the government fails to act on these issues.

This call for action highlights the growing concern over data protection and privacy rights in Nigeria, as consumers increasingly rely on digital platforms for various services.
