Google Pays Record $391M Fine for Tracking User Location

In Android I hate having to turn off location & then again going inside the location settings to disable the WiFi scanning once more.....smh

Lol fining them does nothing, start limiting their ability by the law and they start crying wolf

"Google" is a Klingon word meaning "privacy assault".

Title should read "Google pays $391M for a decade of location data on majority of US citizens".

It's pbb a steal too.

No, because they had most of that data anyway through other windows, and the opt-out for the feature in question was very small, and only applies to Android users.

So they have been fined a bit more than $1.15 for ever person in the USA.

What did this coat in legal fees, salaries, and time for the government? Seems pretty meaningless, and nothing more than an expected operating expense for them.

Will they be retroactively removing all the data from their servers and third parties?

It establishes a precedent for future enforceable expectations of behavior.

Wait till you find it how much police, courts, and prisons cost.
