On Tuesday, June 2, Google was faced with another class-action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit claims that the search engine collects user's data despite turning on the private-browser button. Therefore, the suit seeks $5 billion out of the company as a settlement fee.
Apparently, Google still knows what you do even private-browsing's on!
It is no longer new for Google to face a lawsuit filed by its users. Most of them discuss security and privacy.
However, according to the New York Times, this would be the first time that Google will face a class-action lawsuit allegedly violating the Federal Wiretap Act in the country.
This means that the user's right to privacy and interception are violated with the said lawsuit.
For now, Google has not yet commented on the issue.
