GDPR Art. 4:

„ personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’)“.

This is a business, not a natural person.

Data can be both, in which case GDPR right still apply. Several GDPR fines have been handed down for processing business data about a person. Especially (but not only) data about sole proprietors/solo traders.

Got a link? Because while I don't doubt the logic, it just seems too esoteric to be an actual "issue" that people know about. Plus, I can't find anything.

Cool sounds like this guy can open a police case, a detective or police person looks into it, finds "yeah, sure enough, we audited Google's code and they broke rule 2c, so we'll give you X-million in compensation for this." And then the detective (because it's an open-shut case mind you) goes further with: Getting an extract of 12,393,333 other people affected by this "problem" so they issue a court order to charge Google 12,393,333 * X-million in damages. And then further also issuing a court order for Google to stop all operations immediately until they deactivate this automated process.

As if that will ever happen. We don't live in a world of rules and logic until things play out as simply as above.
