👁🗨 Google tracks you even after you opt out
A US federal judge has denied Google's motion to dismiss a class action lawsuit alleging invasion of privacy for users who opted out of having their web and app activity recorded.
The lawsuit concerns the Web & App Activity (WAA) settings, which control the collection of web and app activity data.
WAA is marketed as a privacy control tool, but its functionality involves collecting data on users' activities, locations, and devices.
Google claims that WAA helps improve the user experience by offering faster search and personalized recommendations.
