The San Francisco jury found Google to violate the privacy of users and binded the company to pay $ 425.7 million in the group lawsuit, Bloomberg reports.
The lawsuit was filed in 2020. According to the prosecution, since 2016, Google has continued to collect data from third-party appendices, even if users have turned off the "Web and Application Activity" function. The jury found the company guilty of confidentiality, but rejected the accusations of computer fraud.
The amount of payment was significantly less than $ 31 billion required by plaintiffs, but it was one of the largest compensation for personal data protection.
This is the second major decision on Google this summer. In July, the California Court offered to pay the Corporation to $ 314 million within another group lawsuit. Then Google was found guilty of using Android devices in the use of mobile internet traffic without the consent of users to collect information to collect target advertising.
