IANAL, but it sounds to me like a very important part of the story is that Google was not listed to end user as entity that would treat their data. Another way to read this could be: failure to inform users that their IP addresses were sent to Google resulted in a 100 € fine.
- bArray 5y agoSure, but this also seems bad for the small web. Imagine for example some small blog embeds a Youtube video into their static page - suddenly they are getting 100 euro fines all over the place. Also this entire case overlooks the point that this user was tech aware enough that they knew their IP was getting sent to Google, was deeply upset by this, but didn't get an ad blocker? This feels like a contrived use of GDPR.
