Google has breached a European Union court ruling by sending spam emails directly to the inbox of Gmail users, says an Austrian advocacy group in a complaint filed on Wednesday with France's data protection watchdog.
Alphabet, Google's parent company, whose revenue comes largely from online advertising, should ask Gmail users for their prior consent before sending them any direct marketing emails, the advocacy group noyb.eu (None Of Your Business) said, citing a 2021 decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union.
