Google investigated again for its data collection
The company has long been on the EU's point of view, with various investigations and fines in recent years. Now a new one is launched.
New investigation
The objective of this new investigation to Google is to know more about the way in which the company collects data in Europe. It seeks to know this in specific situations such as its search services, online advertisements, its targeting services, browsers and more. So they have a clear idea of how the company is monetizing this data.
In this way, it will be possible to determine if this process of obtaining money for said data is being carried out based on EU regulations. Something that at the moment is not entirely clear, so this investigation is carried out.
Chances are, if Google is found to be failing to act on the rules, it will follow a new millionaire fine. The company has received heavy fines over the years, the highest fine in the EU so far has been against them, so it would not be unusual for a new one to end up arriving.
