    Techcrunch[^]:

    The settlement outlines that Google misled its users into thinking they had turned off location tracking even as the company continued to collect their location information.

    Not evil, just nosy?

    “For years Google has prioritized profit over their users’ privacy” <-- isn't that the new corporate slogan?

      So... They have won a couple of Billions with it over that time. This fine is really going to make them stop doing it. Yeah, right!

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        Not really, now it's plain that it's unlawful and any repeated behavior is penally relevant.
