Uber sanctioned 825M euros for account deactivation
The Dutch Data Protection Authority has imposed an 825 million euro fine on Uber due to its use of automated systems to deactivate drivers' accounts without adequately informing them or conducting sufficient human review. An investigation was launched following complaints from 171 French drivers regarding the company's practices between 2018 and 2022, during which their accounts were automatically suspended based on low ratings or suspicion of fraud, making final decisions subject to human review as required by European data protection laws. This is the fourth fine issued by the authority against Uber, and the company has announced its intention to appeal the decision.
