Ireland’s data-protection watchdog fined LinkedIn 310 million euros ($334.3 million), saying the Microsoft-owned career platform’s personal-data processing breached strict European Union data-privacy and security legislation. The Irish Data Protection Commission in 2018 launched a probe into LinkedIn’s processing of users’ personal data for behavioral analysis and targeted advertising after its French equivalent flagged a complaint it received from a non-profit organization. Irish officials raised concerns on the lawfulness, fairness and transparency of the practice, saying Thursday that LinkedIn was in breach of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.
