Amendă uriașă pentru Uber în Europa: Aproape un miliard de dolari pentru suspendarea automată a șoferilor

The Dutch data protection authority fined Uber €825 million for automating driver account suspensions without proper human intervention. This is the second-largest GDPR fine to date. The authority found that Uber's automated systems made significant decisions affecting drivers' incomes without human evaluation, violating GDPR protections. The investigation, initiated by a complaint in France, revealed that some drivers were permanently deactivated based on low ratings. Uber disputes the claims, stating it has not automated permanent deactivations and plans to appeal the fine, which it considers disproportionate. The case raises broader implications for companies using algorithms in employee management.
