PARIS: Google said Jan 23 it would appeal a record €50mil (RM235.57mil) fine imposed by France’s data regulator for failing to meet the EU’s strict new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 

“We’ve worked hard to create a GDPR consent process for personalised ads that is as transparent and straightforward as possible, based on regulatory guidance and user experience testing,” the company said in a statement.
