This is the best summary I could come up with:


Danish privacy regulator Datatilsysnet has ruled that cities in Denmark need considerably more assurances about privacy to use Google service that may expose children’s data, reports BleepingComputer.

Municipalities will need to explain by March 1st how they plan to comply with the order to stop transferring data to Google, and won’t be able to do so at all starting August 1st, which could mean phasing out Chromebooks entirely.

Google using it for purposes like performance analytics or feature development is a problem under their interpretations, even if it doesn’t include targeted advertising.

For instance, it’s easy to see how regulators might take issue with student data being used to develop and improve AI features, which are increasingly part of Google Workspace and Chromebooks.

Datatilsysnet says that cities hadn’t actually done a thorough enough job of vetting the risk of using Google Workplace for Education before they approved their use by local schools.

In 2022, it required 53 municipalities to re-do their assessments as a condition for rescinding a previous data-sharing ban for the city of Helsingør.

What the hell is Datatilsysnet? You mean Datatilsynet? At first I thought it was a typo, but then you kept repeating it. We have Datatilsynet in Norway as well (not the same Datatilsynet, but a Norwegian version of it)

The Verge article got it wrong and used "Datatilsysnet". The original BleepingComputer article used "Datatilsynet". Please don't blame the TLDR bot for The Verge's mistake when copying someone else's article.
