LinkedIn, Irish DPC win right to appeal €310M GDPR fine to Supreme Court

Ireland's Data Protection Commission fined LinkedIn €310M for unlawful data processing, and both parties have now been granted leave to appeal directly to the Supreme Court, bypassing the Court of Appeal. The appeal will test the legal basis for processing member data under GDPR, with implications for Big Tech's data practices across the EU. The outcome is uncertain but could set a precedent for how consent and legitimate interest are interpreted.
