The Dutch Data Protection Authority has fined Uber €825 million for breaching GDPR rules on solely automated driver account deactivations and insufficient transparency about its automated systems, marking a significant test of GDPR protections against consequential algorithmic decisions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ The Wire takeaway

GDPR enforcement just raised the bar on automated decision-making for platforms like Uber. You need to ensure real human oversight and clear transparency now or face costly fines and blocked market access in Europe.
