ARIZONA: Arizona filed a consumer fraud lawsuit against Alphabet Inc’s Google on Wednesday, alleging that the company used “deceptive” and “unfair” practices to obtain the location data of users.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit, which comes as technology companies have been facing regulatory scrutiny globally over their policies and data monitoring practices. “When consumers try to opt out of Google’s collection of location data, the company is continuing to find misleading ways to obtain information and use it for profit,” Brnovich said in an interview with the Washington Post.
