Spanish soccer league La Liga has been fined for inappropriately using its app to catch illegal streaming. The Spanish data protection agency charged La Liga with a fine of 250 thousand euros for violating several EU laws on transparency and data privacy, and ordered the app’s removal by June 30th. The popular app — used by over four million in Spain for displaying game results — was found to be tapping into the location data and microphones of users to find bars that were illegally broadcasting games.
