Facebook and Google are facing penalties The penalty amount is at least $ 930 million US dollars.
The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) fined the fine within a few hours of its implementation on Friday.
There were allegations against the two organizations, they failed to protect the confidentiality of the customers. The news media said on Friday, Google, Facebook, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram users say Tech It and Leave It, where customers are forced to give them the necessary data.
In many cases, circumstances are created to force them to use unwanted services, says Austrian privacy advocacy group Noeb Dotew.
The group has fined France, Belgium, Germany and Austria. Where the two of the company's total revenue will be cut by 4 percent, GDPR said.
As a result, European regulators have agreed to NOB DTUU to penalize Google $ 488 million from Google's parent company Alfabet, $ 163 million from Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
The whole arrogance of these companies because of the amounts of money they have is exactly why we the people need to change the laws. Fines are definatly the way to get their attention.
