France Fines Google Over Privacy

Hang on a second, you mean to tell me this is the largest fine ever levied by France's privacy regulatory organization? How will Google ever pay this?

As expected, the national committee on information and liberty (CNIL) served up a 150,000 euros fine (approximately $200,000). The amount won't mean much to Google financially. But in addition to the fine, the group demanded that Google post a warning on its French home page, Google.fr.
