“For years Google has prioritized profit over their users’ privacy,” Oregon attorney general Ellen Rosenblum, who led the case along with Nebraska AG Doug Peterson, .Consumers thought they had turned off their location tracking features on Google, but the company continued to secretly record their movements and use that information for advertisers.”The AGs opened the investigation in 2018 following an Associated Press report suggesting that .They claimed that the company "confused its users about the extent to which they could limit Google’s location tracking by adjusting their account and device settings."They noted that this is the largest-ever consumer privacy settlement by US states (Meta, then known as Facebook, agreed to pay $5 billion to settle FTC charges over the Cambridge Analytica scandal).According to a press release from the Oregon AG's office, Google has agreed to:Show additional information to users whenever they turn a location-related account setting “on” or “off”;Make key information about location tracking unavoidable for users (i.e., not hidden); andGive users detailed information about the types of location data Google collects and how it’s used at an enhanced “Location Technologies” webpage."
