The Hindu Explains | Has Google been misrepresenting data practices?

The story so far: A proposed class action lawsuit filed against Google on Tuesday alleges that the Internet search giant tracks and collects browsing data “no matter what” steps users take to safeguard their privacy. The petitioners have invoked this Act, saying the following: “Google’s actions in intercepting and tracking user communications while they were browsing the internet using a browser while in ‘private browsing mode’ was intentional. He has been cited as saying, “As we clearly state each time you open a new incognito tab, websites might be able to collect information about your browsing activity.” The petitioners also use the example of the recent Arizona v. Google case to bolster their arguments. Brnovich had tweeted on May 28: “Today we filed a consumer fraud lawsuit against Google for deceptive and unfair practices used to obtain users’ location data, which Google then exploits for its lucrative advertising business.” Petitioners Brown and others referred to this case while elaborating on the “passive data collection practices employed by Android, Google applications, Google Home, and other Google applications and services.” Has Google been sued in the past for wiretapping law violations?
