An Irish regulator helping to police European Union data privacy said Thursday it had fined professional networking platform LinkedIn $335 million over breaching users’ personal data for targeted advertising.
The Data Protection Commission (DPC) ordered LinkedIn to bring its processing into compliance with the EU’s strict General Data Protection Regulation, launched in 2018 to protect European consumers from personal data breaches. Ireland is home to the European headquarters of several tech giants including Microsoft, Apple, Google and Facebook-parent Meta.
