Google is facing a potential lawsuit in August for allegedly collecting Android users’ data despite them opting out of tracking. The company claims its basic record-keeping doesn’t harm anyone, but a federal judge rejected this argument, paving the way for a possible trial. The lawsuit accuses Google of invading users’ privacy and violating California law by intercepting and saving personal browsing histories without consent.
Previously, Google agreed to destroy billions of data records to settle a similar lawsuit, with the settlement valued at over $5 billion. The current lawsuit raises concerns about Google’s data collection practices and transparency. The case could have significant implications for Google’s handling of user data and privacy policies.
