Uber faces a €825 million fine from Dutch regulators for suspending drivers through automated systems without proper human review or notice, violating GDPR rules. This could become the second-largest GDPR fine in Europe after Meta's €1.2 billion penalty in 2023.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must urgently reassess any automated decision tools in your business if operating in Europe. Dutch regulators just sent a clear message that automated suspensions without human oversight will hit your company with massive fines.
