He discovered his Google ID, classified as personal data under GDPR, was being traded between at least ten adtech companies in a single hour, which used it to target him. Goog claims onus is on the publisher, yet it is itself sharing and facilitating the data.

Another shocking data story on front page of @FT. Google reported to Irish regulator for secretly tracking users. Massive breach of GDPR if proven. Congrats to Johnny Ryan & @RaviNa1k for bringing case. A lot of work...https://t.co/bnDxmmJONj

He also discovered a second unique tracker that allowed adtech companies to combine info on him, of which there is no mention in Google’s documentation or policies.

Researchers found lots of adtech firms taking advantage of this to share with even more companies, whom even Google may be unaware of. https://t.co/UsjUtqHXUS
