Apps like Temu or TokTok. Or those cheap electronic devices where you have to download a questionable app and register an account. What exactly is being stolen and what is being done with it? Who is doing it? Why?

    And yet I somehow knew Google was collecting my personal info because it was obvious. That’s the entire point of the company lol.

    ‘People should have known this company would be misleading/lying’ isn’t a defence for what a company does

    where exactly did they think the browser was pulling those results from? Could it be a website… called Google?

    This is the important bit. Since Google handles both the browser and the search engine, that’s where there’s the potential for confusion (and what the court is deciding on). So basically: did the tracking only kick in when using a Google managed website, or was it happening on the browser level (for everyone regardless of what website they used).

    Personally I agree that there are bigger issues to deal with
