Ireland's Data Protection Commission has fined Microsoft-owned LinkedIn $335 million for privacy violations related to its tracking ads business. The fine was issued under the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The investigation found that LinkedIn failed to provide a valid legal basis for processing users' personal data, and also did not comply with transparency and fairness principles.
