LinkedIn suspected of exploiting “sensitive” data, the European Commission demands explanations. The sensitive personal data of its users (sexual orientation, political opinions, etc.) is collected for advertising targeting purposes, according to a European source.
This request for information, which is not an indictment at this stage, comes within the framework of the EU Digital Services Regulation (DSA), which imposes new obligations on online platforms, particularly in their practices for advertising purposes. The European Commission on Thursday demanded explanations from the professional social network LinkedIn.
