Google victorious in case claiming it tracked Chrome users without permission

Alphabet Inc.’s Google defeated a privacy lawsuit by consumers who accused the company of snooping on them even after they opted out of sharing their web activity.

US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers on Monday dismissed claims that Google tracked users’ personal information, including IP addresses and browsing history, if they chose not to “Sync” their Google accounts with Chrome — and even if they didn’t have an account.

This was always a group of people who thought they would make a quick buck. If you are scared of or care about privacy, do not use the Internet. You are not forced in using it. This judge should have ordered the people to pay all Google's legal fees as well.
