Google is expected to pay $ 1.375 billion to settle allegations of confidentiality of the data provided by the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, according to a press release.
Texas brought two proceedings in 2022 against Google to “follow illegally and collect private data from users concerning geolocation, incognito research and biometric data,” the press release said. Before now, no state, no state has “reached Google regulation for similar violations of data privilege over $ 93 million”.
“This settles a series of old claims, many of which have already been resolved elsewhere, concerning the product policies that we have changed for a long time,” said Google spokesperson José Castañeda, The penis. “We are happy to put them behind us, and we will continue to integrate robust confidentiality checks into our services.”
In 2022, Google agreed to pay $ 391.5 million to 40 states concerning allegations for monitoring the location without consent of users. Last year, Meta agreed with a regulation of $ 1.4 billion with Texas on facial recognition and photo labels.
