Google is sued in U.S. for tracking users' 'private' internet browsing

Google was sued Tuesday in a proposed class action accusing it of illegally invading millions of users' privacy by tracking their internet use from browsers set in"private" browsing mode.

The lawsuit seeks at least $5 billion, accusing the Alphabet Inc. unit of illegally collecting information about what people are viewing online and where they are doing their browsing through various applications and website plug-ins, including Google Analytics and Google Ad Manager. "Billions of times a day, Google causes computers around the world to report the real-time internet communications of hundreds of millions of people to Google," according to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court in San Jose, California.The lawsuit, which said the proposed class likely includes"millions" of users, seeks damages per user of $5,000 or three times actual damages, whichever is greater.

That is deprivation so bad

Who benefits in such a class action suit? The law firms. America needs tort reform. Virtually all Democrat and many Republican politicians won't hear of it. Campaign contributions from the trial lawyers...

They do go into your web search though computer and phone, every time I go to google search all of a sudden My phone act out and I could see in the setting app that someone is in it . I knew it was an inside job. I should sued!!!

Can't wait to sign on to this one. I wouldn't doubt that one day they will try to sell your own data back to you ('pay us $500 and we will scrub your data from our servers').

Pretty rich of the government to sue for breaching the right to privacy...

About time

So who gets the money if google was to lose the lawsuit

Nowadays, PRIVACY is reduced to an ILLUSION!

Leave Google alone ,how did you know. Android forever

Casual racism from google there

I'm not surprised :)

I want to know about this database Google has compiled of everyone’s fetish preferences. What is the commercial application here? Is there a pornography cabal amassing power in the deep state? So. Many. Questions!

This isn’t even surprising. A few thoughts: Are google employees and executives similarly tracked or are they exempted? How is our data monetized? What countries get our data? Is there a file on me, friends and family somewhere in China? What happens to our information?

Google is asshoe!

weirdbr Did you hear about this?

Good.

Fuck google

Google has escaped notice because of Zuck's struggles but they are in many ways worse given the span of their product range.

So my porn history isn't safe🤔

So all along they where tracking all my porn from incognito mode? When it was meant to be incognito

How does your mind deceive you? ' Free yourself' your mind is obsessed with what other minds are thinking (mind reading). Your mind is horribly competitive and insecure, comparing you to the neighbors, co-workers, friends..

Google is internet cancer - Use DuckDuckGo instead
