Google fined over privacy breach

Monitoring Desk

DAVOS: Google has been fined $57 million for violating Europe’s new data-privacy law, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The fine marks the first time a U.S. tech company has faced sanctions under the updated regulation. Google failed to tell users how their information was collected and did not get user consent to show personalized ads. Last year, EU regulators hit the tech giant with a record $5 billion penalty for anti-competitive practices related to its Android mobile operating system.
