Google will compensate 40 states for violating localization rules

(Tiper Stock Exchange) – Google agreed to pay a record settlement of $391.5 million (equal to approximately 375 million euros) to 40 US states which they had accused her of having misled users convinced that you have disabled the GPS-related functions.

The big name on the Internet, as reported by the New York Times, would have been accused of tracking mobile devices and, therefore, provided location information and advertising also addressed to users who had turned off tracking location in your account settings.

Hence the complaint brought forward by 40 Attorneys General of the State, with whom the search engine has signed a settlement agreement, which closes the largest lawsuit on privacy in USA.

Under the agreement, Google has also pledged to make tracking procedures clearer of the position from 2023.
