TL;DR

France's CNIL has fined Amazon $35 million for "excessively intrusive" worker surveillance, citing violations of the EU's GDPR. The commission found Amazon's scanning speed systems, data collection practices, and downtime measurements to be "excessive" and in violation of GDPR articles. Amazon defended its practices as necessary for employee safety and efficiency, but workers in the US have also raised concerns about constant surveillance and productivity monitoring.
