California has fined Uber $59.1 million. The company was fined for repeatedly refusing to turn over data related to its 2019 sexual assault report. According to Business Insider the report was supposed to be turned over to the California Public Utilities Commission. In the ruling, the judge ordered Uber to pay the fine and turn over the data within 30 days. CPUC, which oversees rideshare companies, can revoke Uber's license to operate in the state. Uber said it refused CPUC's requests to protect the privacy of survivors. The judge rejected that argument by noting Uber still wouldn't hand over the data when given the chance to do so anonymously.

Gizmodo reports San Francisco and Alameda counties in California have stopped using Verily to test for the novel coronavirus. Google's health-centered sister company launched a $55 million pilot COVID-19 testing program earlier this year to set up mobile and stationary test sites. However, Verily’s services weren’t geared towards filling the needs of communities especially vulnerable to the pandemic. Specifically, the services put people of color, those with low income, and the homeless at a disadvantage for using Verily's site and accessing test results. Another complaint was that Verily reserves the right to use collected data for 'commercial product research and development.' While Verily says strict privacy controls are in place, critics say the system may still violate federal health data privacy laws.
