Dutch Privacy Watchdog Fines Uber €825 Million Over Drivers’ Rights

The Dutch privacy watchdog has fined Uber €825 million over alleged violations of drivers’ rights. The case reportedly concerns how the company handled personal data and made decisions affecting drivers through automated systems. Regulators said the practices may have limited drivers’ ability to understand, challenge, or appeal decisions involving their accounts and employment. Uber could contest the penalty or seek legal review. The ruling may increase scrutiny of algorithmic management across the gig economy and encourage companies to provide greater transparency for workers
