The Irish Data Protection Commission (IDPC) is currently investigating LinkedIn’s actions in 2018.
The investigation centers around if LinkedIn’s targeted advertising practices violated European data protection law (viaReuters).
Facebook was fined 1.2bn by the IDPC earlier this year (viaBBC).
That punishment was in response to violations of the EU’s GDPR privacy laws.
IDPC did not respond to a request by Reuters for a comment.
Microsoft was informed of the preliminary decision in April, according to Reuters.
The tech giant plans to dispute the fine once the IDPC issues it in its final form.
