Dec 17 (Reuters) - The Australian Information Commissioner said on Tuesday it has

withdrawn civil penalty proceedings against Meta Platforms ( META ) that it had brought in 2020

after a A$50 million ($31.85 million) settlement by the Facebook parent.

The Commissioner had alleged that personal information of some users were being disclosed to

Facebook's personality quiz app, This is Your Digital Life, as part of the broader

Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal.
