Well I agree that people shouldn’t lose their income via an automated decision, but the article isn’t really clear about why that’s a GDPR violation. So I understand and agree with the premise and conclusion, but not really the use of GDPR to justify the fine?
Data protection is actually a misnomer. Protecting your data is just a tool to protect you.
And so the GDPR does not only protect your data. It also protects you from things like profiling or automated legal decisions based on existing data.
For example a health provider is of course allowed to collect and save you health information. Analysing their huge data set and deciding that you are statistically a risk patient and terminating your contract is still very much illegal.
The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her.
