Uber fined €825 million for suspending drivers through algorithms without human review
The Netherlands’ Data Protection Authority fined Uber €825 million for automating driver suspensions without human review, a violation of GDPR. This penalty, the second-largest under GDPR, stems from actions between 2018 and 2022 that significantly impacted drivers' income. Uber plans to appeal the decision, claiming its current policies allow for human review.
