France Wants Another Google PEZ Pellet
February 16, 2022
The craving for Google cash bundles is amusing. “France’s Privacy Watchdog Latest to Find Google Analytics Breaches GDPR” explains:
The French data protection watchdog, the CNIL, said today that an unnamed local website’s use of Google Analytics is non-compliant with the bloc’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — breaching Article 44 which covers personal data transfers outside the bloc to so-called third countries which are not considered to have essentially equivalent privacy protections.
What will Googzilla do? Threaten to pull out of Europe like the Zuckers? Pay up? Drag the matter through the highly efficient French legal system?
Probably all three options. France will continue punching the PEZ dispenser for Google outputs.
