Google is facing a 5 5 billion action class lawsuit for tracking users who use Chrome even in incognito mode.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court in San Jose, California, on Tuesday, the company is accused of gathering information about what people see and which pages go online, according to media sources.
The complaint alleges that Google Analytics, Google Ad Manager, and a number of mobile apps collected data that allowed the company to maintain close contact with customers, hobbies, abstinence habits, and includes even private and very sensitive things that they search for on the internet
The lawsuit argues that Google may not be able to collect confidential and unauthorized data from virtually every American computer or phone.
The complaint seeks at least 5,000 in compensation for millions of people using the hidden state since June 1, 2016, for violating federal wiretapping and California privacy laws.
'Whenever we make it clear that every time you open a new privacy tab, websites can collect information about your browsing activity,' Google spokesman Jose Castenda told a new agency. He added that the company has every intention of defending itself in court.
Skatex has long been warning companies like Google and Facebook about extensive tracking methods, although it also collects user data using anonymity.
Researchers at Microsoft, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Pennsylvania wrote in a study published in 2019 that many websites or apps contain the codes of other parties that people generally do not know about and allows companies to monitor consumers actions without their knowledge or consent and develop a detailed profile of their habits and interests.
Google has previously been accused of privatizing search results hidden by rival Dick Dugo. This is a claim that shows that the company's private browsing mode is not as anonymous as we might think.
