Google, managed by the company Alphabet, will have to pay around US$ 400 million to resolve allegations brought by 40 US states that the institution has illegally tracked users’ locations. According to Reuters, in addition to payment, Google should be more transparent and provide detailed information about location tracking data.
The company has been the target of some lawsuits related to illegal tracking of users. Another similar case against Google happened in Arizona in October of this year and the company had to pay US$ 85 millions. Texas, Indiana, Washington State and the District of Columbia have also sued Google alleging deceptive tracking practices that interfere with users’ privacy.
