Google is facing a class action lawsuit regarding privacy violations, with a trial scheduled to begin on August 18, 2025. This legal challenge emerged after a federal judge allowed the case to proceed, rejecting Google’s attempt to have it dismissed. 

The lawsuit, filed in July 2020, accuses Google of collecting personal data from users’ mobile devices even after they opted out of tracking.

Google ordered to pay $425 million to 98 million users over privacy violations

Chief Judge Richard Seeborg ruled that reasonable users could find Google’s actions “highly offensive,” especially since internal communications indicated that the company was aware of user concerns but kept specific details vague to avoid alarming them.

The judge emphasised that Google’s claims about adequately informing users were insufficient, as many users remained unaware of how their data was being handled.

Google’s response and future implications

Founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1998, Google has consistently been at the forefront of technological advancements. 

In response to the lawsuit, Google has denied any wrongdoing, asserting that its privacy controls are well-established and accusing the plaintiffs of misrepresenting its practices. The outcome of this case could significantly impact how tech companies manage user data and privacy in the future.
