Amazon has filed an appeal against a $34.6 million fine imposed by the French data privacy watchdog for allegedly breaching the country's privacy laws through the monitoring of its employees. The fine was issued by the French regulator, CNIL, in December 2021 after an investigation revealed that Amazon had violated the privacy of its workers by excessively monitoring their activities.
The fine was one of the largest penalties ever imposed by CNIL, highlighting the seriousness of the allegations against the e-commerce giant. Amazon has denied any wrongdoing and has stated that it takes the privacy and security of its employees very seriously.
