EU Data Privacy Regulator Fines Google $463 Million

The lead EU data privacy regulator for most of the biggest Internet ‌companies fined Alphabet's Google €403 million ($463 million) after an inquiry into its processing of location data, policies the search engine said have since been updated. Ireland's Data Protection Commission said it found Google had infringed European Union ​privacy rules known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) through three of its specific features – 'Web & ​App Activity', 'Location History' and 'Location Accuracy' — from 2018 to 2020.
