The District of Columbia and three states are
suing Google for allegedly deceiving consumers
and invading their privacy by making it nearly
impossible for them to stop their location from
being tracked.
In the lawsuit iled this week in a District of
Columbia court, D.C. Attorney General Karl
Racine alleges Google has “systematically”
deceived consumers about how their locations
are tracked and used. He also says the internet
search giant has misled users into believing
they can control the information the company
collects about them.
“In reality, consumers who use Google products
cannot prevent Google from collecting, storing
and proiting from their location,” the lawsuit
says. Google has “an unprecedented ability to
monitor consumers’ daily lives.”
