"Google promised "control over what was collected, control over what was saved, control to delete the data that was collected," Boies told the jury."
""None of that was true. People were given a purported choice but no control.""
A two-week federal trial concluded with a jury set to decide whether Google intentionally misled users about data collection after they disabled the Web & App Activity setting. Plaintiffs seek $31 billion in compensatory damages, up $2 billion from the start of trial, on behalf of a class of 98 million users. The suit alleges Google deceived users into believing disabling the setting would stop tracking across third-party apps using Google’s analytics. Plaintiffs’ attorney cited Sundar Pichai’s 2018 testimony and internal Google emails and surveys indicating users were misled about control over their data. The damages request was calculated at $3 per device per month across 174 million devices for an average of 59.5 months.
