Google to settle class action lawsuit alleging Incognito mode does not protect user privacy
A nearly four-year-long battle between Google and consumers in a class action lawsuit reached a preliminary settlement Tuesday over allegations that Google deceives users about their privacy when browsing in the tech giant’s so-called Incognito mode.
Wait, somebody really thought that mode does more than just not show you ur browser history afterwards?
What the fuck
When I saw headlines I automatically assumed that this was some Chrome behavior that linked your activity in incognito mode with your real outside-incognito identity.
No. You're right. They're just up in arms because if you log into Google in incognito mode, Google will know who you are in incognito mode.
What a crock
Sweet! In about three years, I can look forward to a digital gift card for a dollar ninety eight!
First, class actions works all the time. I've pulled in something like $1500 between Google and Sony shenanigans.
Second, no you won't, this is the dumbest waste of court time I've read about in a long time. It's going to be a big fat L for the plantifs and they are likely fighting for pennies if they clear the first procedurals.
On the upside, you don't need to send them your contact details!
What an absolute waste of everyone's time.
