Google faces fines for not fixing flaws in privacy policy

Google faces possible fines after six EU data protection regulators started “co-ordinated” enforcement measures over the company’s failure to fix flaws in a new privacy policy.

A taskforce of agencies, led by France’s National Commission for Computing and Civil Liberties (CNIL), yesterday began follow-up measures in line with their national laws after a meeting with Google yielded “no changes”, the regulator said.

British, German, Italian, Spanish, and Dutch watchdogs are also part of the taskforce.
