Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Ireland's Data Protection Commission fined Google 403 million euros for GDPR breaches involving location data. The probe covered Web & App Activity, Location History, and Android's Location Accuracy feature from 2018 through February 2020. Regulators found the processing unlawful, unfair, or opaque, even though Google said it changed its policies and released new location-management tools in 2019.
