Η Google faces a $5 billion lawsuit over anonymized data tracking tourof Chrome
A federal judge in California on Friday filed a lawsuit against Google, accusing it of monitoring the company in Chrome the activities of users in anonymous browsing mode.
According to a Bloomberg report, Google had appealed to the court to dismiss the case, but the judge instead of the case rejected her request. The Reuters had reported about it that the lawsuit seeks compensation of at least $ 5 billion, almost $ 5.000 per user.
Last June, three users filed a lawsuit against the company claiming that the program his browsing history in Chrome collects data even if you use private (anonymous) mode.
In their lawsuit they said that after you disable data tracking in your browser through incognito mode, other tools of Google used by websites, transfer your personal information to the company. The petitioners also alleged that the company is engaged in an "intrusive data monitoring business".
A Google spokesman said the company has made it clear that Chrome will not save your activity while browsing in incognito mode, but the sites you visit may collect some of your information.
So in anticipation of the upcoming trial.
