Ireland's data watchdog fines Twitter €450k for GDPR breaches
It is the first admonishment of a tech multinational based in Ireland by the DPC, although the fine itself falls far short of the maximum amount allowable.
Twitter has received its first fine, of €450,000, from Ireland’s privacy regulator for breaches of GDPR which saw its mobile app making protected tweets public due to a glitch.
The Data Protection Commission said the fine had been handed down on foot of the social media giant failing to notify the regulator of the breach in adequate time, and for failing to adequately document the breach.
