France's CNIL fines Google €325M and Shein €150M for deceptive cookie consent practices under GDPR and ePrivacy rules. The penalties highlight ongoing issues with "dark patterns" in user interfaces that make opting out harder than accepting tracking. This adds to Google's history of EU privacy fines and marks Shein's first major data protection hit amid its rapid growth.
