An Austrian non-profit organization, noyb, has filed suit under GDPR against eight firms for non-compliance with the privacy regulation. The suit named Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, Youtube, and three others for violating the terms of the European law. The suit was filed with the Austrian privacy authority on behalf of 10 users.
