Motorola Mobility LLC has settled a proposed class action lawsuit that accused the company of sharing consumers’ personal information with Google LLC, TikTok Inc., Amazon.com Inc., and other third parties without proper consent. The settlement was formalized with a joint stipulation of dismissal filed on Wednesday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California.
The dismissal comes nearly two months after lead plaintiff Jonathan Gabrielli filed a notice of settlement with the court. The dismissal is with prejudice to Gabrielli’s claims only, meaning other unnamed class members remain free to file similar complaints if they choose.
Gabrielli’s lawsuit, originally filed in 2024, alleged that Motorola misled consumers by disclosing their personal information to third parties without obtaining explicit consent. The specifics of the settlement terms were not disclosed in the filing.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about data privacy and corporate accountability in the tech industry, particularly regarding how companies handle user data shared with third-party platforms.
