Back in 2012 Google made changes to its privacy policy and these changes triggered several European privacy watchdogs to build a case against the search engine company for failing to address data protection and privacy questions.
Last month Google was sentenced to pay a €150,000 fine and ordered to post this notice of the court's decision that is now being displayed on www.google.fr. The fine which is around $204,000 is the maximum allowed by law in France. This is not the first time a company has been asked to post a notice on its main website. Apple was also required to inform its visitors when it lost a case against Samsung in UK. Apple however had problems after it excessively editorialized the notice. As a result the UK court ordered Apple to rewrite the notice.
