A U.S. district judge has dismissed New Mexico’s
privacy claims against Google over privacy
concerns, but New Mexico’s top prosecutor
vowed to continue the legal fight to protect
child privacy rights.
The judge concluded in a ruling that federal
laws and regulations do not require direct
consent from parents when schools participate
in Google’s education platforms. Google had
asked that the case be dismissed, saying it
hasn’t violated any laws as it is required only to
make reasonable efforts to provide notice and
obtain consent.
