Irish watchdog fines Google €403 million over GDPR breaches

Original: Irish data protection watchdog fines Google €403M over GDPR breaches

Google has been fined €403 million by Ireland's Data Protection Commission for breaches of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation. The Irish Times reports the decision by the regulator, which oversees many major US tech firms because of their European headquarters in Ireland. The penalty is one of the largest GDPR fines issued to date, underlining continued EU scrutiny of how large technology companies handle users' personal data.

Why now: A major record-scale GDPR fine against one of the world's biggest tech companies has just been announced.
