During January 2019, was the CNIL the first National Data Protection Authority to impose in Europe a sanction according to GDPR, against Google because it was not “too clear and transparent” on privacy option for online users in the Android operating system, but the decision was not in compliance with the American giant that immediately announced that wanted to make an appeal, which now result with a negative .

Yesterday, the French State Council  rejected an appeal  confirming that the French Data Protection Authority had the right to sanction Google and that “given the particular gravity” and duration of the unfulfilled premises, the penalty of EUR 50 million, is proportionate in respect of violations of the EU Data Protection Regulation answered.

The hopes that the situation could change and reverse were extinguished, and after these Googles decided to want to adapt to the violations answered by bringing modifications to Android.

The situation, which is now at the end, began with a quka by two online associations, La Quadrature du Net and None Of Your Business (NOYB) and the final decision of the largest French Court to confirm the sanction is a strong segnale from the old continent to the online giants respecting the principle of transparency, which forces owners to inform users about how their personal data is treated concisely , intelligible and easily accessible, with simple and clear language.
