Amazon France Logistique has been fined €32 million ($35 million) by France's data protection watchdog, CNIL, for implementing a surveillance system deemed 'excessively intrusive' in monitoring its warehouse workers. The system was criticized for tracking employee movement and activity to an extent that required workers to justify each break they took. This fine adds to the over $3 billion in penalties that Big Tech companies have faced in 2023 for law violations in the US and Europe.
