Australia’s Consumer Watchdog filed a case against the California-based company, accusing the tech giant of misleading users on the collection of personal data and how it is used.
Canberra, Australia – Legal action was taken against Google by the Australian Watchdog Commission on Monday, 27 July. The Australian monitoring authority accused the global tech giant of misleading Google account holders regarding collecting and using private data.
As of 15th August, the legal action launched by The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) was the latest instance of a privacy breach lawsuit being filed against Google. A few days have passed, and that still remains true.
The Consumer Commission claims that Google deceived millions of Australian users into getting their consent to access even more of their personal information.
