Google, Privacy & $1.3B Fine: Who’s Tougher — US or EU?

Google has agreed to pay $ 1.375 billion to settle two major privacy lawsuits in Texas—its largest data-related payout ever. But is the U.S. finally outpacing the EU in regulating Big Tech? In this episode of Diritto al Digitale, Giulio Coraggio, technology and data lawyer at DLA Piper, compares this record-breaking settlement to key GDPR fines in Europe. From biometric data enforcement to location tracking, we explore the different legal models on both sides of the Atlantic. Is it better to write a billion-dollar check and move on, or to face slower but deeper structural reforms under the GDPR? And what does all this mean for the future of privacy compliance in a world increasingly driven by biometrics and AI? Send us Fan Mail 📌 You can find our contacts 👉
