Google Fined $57 Million By French Regulator

Description

According to Gizmodo, a French regulator fined Google for $57 million. The fine is the single largest since the European Union instituted the General Data Protection Regulation. A French regulatory found that Google violated the EU law by displaying personalized ads to users without proper consent. The regulatory also said Google did not sufficiently inform users how their personal data would be used by their search engine. The fine followed complaints filed by two advocacy groups last May, when the GDRP was initially enforced.
