Google Denied Judgment in US App-Tracking Case

Google has been denied a judgment in a US court case brought by plaintiffs accusing the tech giant of tracking consumers' mobile app activity despite their privacy settings. The decision was made by District Judge Richard Seeborg, who ruled against the plaintiffs' request for a new trial.

The plaintiffs alleged that Google's tracking practices violate federal and state laws, but the judge rejected their proposed instruction on this point. This means that the original verdict will stand, with the case now subject to appeal.

Google has faced numerous lawsuits over its data collection and tracking practices in recent years. The company has maintained that it only collects data that users explicitly consent to, but critics argue that this is not always the case.
