Uber €825 million Dutch GDPR fine over automated driver suspensions

The Dutch Data Protection Authority fined Uber €825 million for using automated systems to deactivate driver accounts without adequately informing them, covering cases from 2020 to 2022; Uber says it will appeal and notes it now employs human reviews. The penalty would be the second-largest under GDPR, underscoring heightened regulatory scrutiny of automated decision-making in gig economy platforms like Uber.
