> The Dutch data protection authority has fined Uber €825m ($966m) for suspending or deactivating drivers through automated systems without adequately informing them. The penalty would be the second-largest under the GDPR. Uber strongly disputes the decision, saying its policies include human reviews and ways for drivers to challenge suspensions.
