The photos were obtained through the company’s video surveillance system. The company further encouraged other users to share both the photos and the postings. The postings resulted in hundreds of humiliating, insulting and even threatening comments. The AEPD imposed a fine of EUR 10,000 for publishing the photos and EUR 2,000 for not installing the sign required for video surveillance of the store. |
