The Dutch Data Protection Authority fined Uber €825 million for suspending and deactivating driver accounts using automated systems without adequate human oversight, constituting the second-largest GDPR penalty ever.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 9 sources have reported it between 21 Aug 2026 and 25 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You now face stricter rules on automated decisions affecting user accounts, with human oversight non-negotiable. Uber’s penalty sets a precedent that automated driver account actions can trigger massive compliance risks this week.
