Google fined $460 million for misusing user location history and web activity
Irish data privacy regulator found Google guilty of improperly using users' location history and web activity data.
The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) announced a $460 million fine against Google for misusing users' location history and web activity.
The regulator said Google collected and processed this data without a proper legal basis, breaching GDPR requirements.
This penalty joins a growing list of fines Google has faced in Europe over privacy concerns, underscoring ongoing scrutiny of its data practices.
Analysts say the ruling reinforces the need for tech firms to obtain clear consent before tracking user behavior online.
For Uzbekistan's expanding digital economy, the case highlights the importance of strong data protection frameworks.
