Uber slapped with R15-billion fine

• Uber was fined R15.4 billion by the Dutch Data Protection Authority for violating EU data protection laws.
• The fine is related to Uber's handling of passenger data, including the processing of personal data and the use of third-party data processors.
• The fine does not affect Uber's operations in the Netherlands, but it is a significant blow to the company's reputation and may lead to changes in its data protection practices globally.
