noyb win: First major fine (€ 1 million) for using Google Analytics
Swedish data protection authority (IMY) issued decisions against four companies and imposed a fine of 12 mio SEK (1 mio Euro) against Tele2 and 300.000 SEK against CDON for using Google Analytics on their webpage. Although many other European authorities (e.g. Austria, France and Italy) already found that the use of Google Analytics violates the GDPR, this is the first financial penalty imposed on companies for using Google Analytics, despite the CJEU's rulings on EU-US data transfers.
Finally there's some small steps to start to enforce these rulings. Hoping that this will set a precedent and inspire more DPAs to follow suit.
