The Dutch Data Protection Authority announced on the 21st that it imposed a fine of 825 million euros on the US online ride-hailing service operator Uber on the grounds that Uber suspended driver accounts through an automated system without fully complying with relevant notification and manual review obligations, violating the relevant provisions of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation. The Dutch Data Protection Authority said that between 2018 and 2022, Uber used software to track drivers' driving behavior and passenger reviews. If the software detects suspected fraud or the passenger reviews are too low, the relevant driver's account will be automatically deactivated. This process has not been manually reviewed, causing damage to the drivers' interests. The above situation was first reported by more than 170 French Uber ride-hailing drivers. Since Uber's European headquarters is in Amsterdam, the Dutch Data Protection Authority immediately initiated an investigation. Uber has announced an appeal against this penalty. In recent years, the Dutch Data Protection Authority has issued numerous fines against Uber. Uber was fined 10 million euros in 2023; in 2024, Uber was fined 290 million euros for transferring personal data from European drivers to the US.
