Google cannot escape location privacy lawsuit in Arizona, judge rules (Paresh Dave, Reuters)

January 26, 2022

Allegations that Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) Google deceived users with unclear smartphone location tracking settings should be weighed by a jury, an Arizona judge ruled on Tuesday, refusing to toss out a lawsuit brought by the state’s attorney general.

Google had sought summary judgment to get the case against it thrown out at an early stage. It had argued that the state had failed to show that its consumer fraud law could apply and noted that the company’s disclosures about privacy settings has been clarified since the case was brought nearly two years ago.
