California privacy regulator launches first sectoral audit of gig platforms; Dutch regulator fines Uber €825M

CalPrivacy has initiated an audit targeting gig platforms' use of geolocation, biometrics, and algorithmic decision-making. New details: the audit examines CCPA access request compliance and how platforms handle worker data used for algorithmic decisions. Separately, the Dutch regulator fined Uber €825M for automated driver suspensions without human review, the second-largest GDPR fine ever, signaling a global crackdown on algorithmic transparency in gig work. Uber is appealing.
