TEXAS — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has taken on big tech and is fighting to keep his job in next week’s primary runoff election, hasTexas Attorney General Ken Paxton has amended an existing lawsuit against Google to include claims about incognito mode
Google earlier stated that incognito mode allows users to browse the internet without their activity being saved to a browser or device but information may still be collected during those sessionsWhat is incognito mode? According to a news release from Paxton’s office, incognito mode “is a web browser function that implies to consumers that Google will not track your search history or location activity.
“[The lawsuit] argues that the company misled consumers by tracking their personal location without consent, and in many cases continued to track them after the feature was disabled by users, all of which constitute a violation of the Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act,” the news release reads. “While Texas consumers were under the impression they were not being tracked, Google continued to use their private location information to boost company profits.
