Austrian consumer advocacy group NOYB filed a complaint to France’s data protection authority, the Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés, over Google allegedly violating an EU court order, Reuters reports. The complaint alleged Google sent unsolicited advertising emails directly to its European Gmail users. If the CNIL were to rule against Google, the decision would only apply to French Gmail users; however, such a ruling could force Google to reevaluate its practices across the EU.
