Google Fined $463 Million for Breaching EU Location Data Rules The European Union has fined Google $463 million for breaching location data rules, a penalty that highlights the persistent pattern of disregard for user privacy among big tech companies.
The investigation, launched in 2020, centered on three features: Web & App Activity, Location History, and Location Accuracy.
Google was found to have failed to meet transparency requirements in all three features, with some users unknowingly sharing location data.
