Google Invites More Complaints Related To User Privacy Violation From EU: Report

Austrian advocacy group noyb.eu complained to the French data protection authority CNIL against Alphabet Inc GOOG GOOGL Google for the breach of a European Union court ruling.
The group blamed Google for sending unsolicited advertising emails directly to the inbox of Gmail users.
Google, which mainly depended on online advertising, needs to seek the permission of Gmail users before sending them any direct marketing emails, the group said, citing a 2021 decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).

Google's ad emails allegedly include the word "Ad" in green letters on the left-hand side, below the email's subject, and do not include a date.
The CNIL imposed a record penalty of €150 million ($149 million) on Google for making it difficult to refuse online trackers, Reuters reports.
Google had to slash its commission from 15% to 12% for non-gaming app developers on its Google Play App Store, which switches to rival payment systems to comply with new EU tech rules.
Price Action: GOOG shares traded higher by 0.12% at $114.91 in the premarket on the last check Wednesday.
