    Reuters[^]:

    Google was sued on Tuesday in a proposed class action accusing the internet search company of illegally invading the privacy of millions of users by pervasively tracking their internet use through browsers set in “private” mode.

    I'm sure they can dig up the coin for this fine by going through the couch cushions at the head office

    Or maybe cancel a service or two? Nah. They were going to do that anyway.

      Wow, after years of education people are still using google. That alone should tell you something. The answer is just keep yourself separated from the "unclean" google users. One of the first things I did when I built my voip network was to block that google-voice or whatever it was. That was literally job #1.

        I sometimes use Google Maps. Also, Android tracks the hell out of you. Shutting that crap off isn't trivial and sometimes breaks things that shouldn't break. (OTOH, I don't really care. Google's algorithms likely declare me a very boring person and ignore me.)
