SaralnamaAustria's data protection authority ordered YouTube to give users access to their data on 1 Sep 2025 in Vienna. The order follows a complaint filed by privacy group Noyb in 2019. YouTube must comply with EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Users can now request information about their data and how it's used. Google, YouTube's owner, has 4 weeks to follow the order or appeal. Noyb called it a win but criticized the 5.5-year delay. The group has filed over 800 similar complaints against tech giants like Meta and Google. (Updated 1 Sep 2025, 12:15 IST; source: link)
