France fines Google € 50 million for lack of transparency

Google is fined again

Google has commented that they are studying the fine at the moment and will make some decision soon. It has not been confirmed, although the firm will surely appeal, as it has done in all the fines it has received in Europe so far. But there are no confirmed data so far. Although it is already the umpteenth fine for the company, which continues to have problems with the European authorities.

It was not the only company to have been fined in France these days. Uber has also been fined this week, in his case $ 400, 000. They have not done enough to protect user data.

Without a doubt, it will not be the last fine that Google is going to obtain in Europe. The company is usually one of the most fined on the continent. In addition, the data protection law was amended in May, so it is possible that in the future there will be some related to it.
