Ireland's Data Protection Commission fines Google €403 million over location data

Original: Data Protection Commission fines Google €403M over processing of location data

Ireland's Data Protection Commission has fined Google €403 million following an inquiry into how the company processes users' location data. The decision, announced by the Irish regulator, marks one of the larger privacy penalties issued under GDPR enforcement and adds to a series of sanctions against major technology firms over their handling of personal data. Commenters online are debating the size of the fine and its likely effect on Google's location-tracking practices.

Why now: Regulators issued a major new GDPR fine against Google, a company already under close scrutiny over privacy practices.
