A U.S. jury rules: Google has violated the privacy of nearly 100 million users.

A jury in the United States has ruled that Google violated the privacy of nearly 100 million Google users who requested not to have their account data tracked. The jury, composed of eight people at the federal court in San Francisco, found that Google deceived users with the privacy switch in their account settings, which was supposed to prevent the company from collecting user data in third-party applications. Even if users turned on the privacy switch, Google continued to collect data. The jury determined that the company's copying of their data violated California privacy laws. The jury found Google liable for invasion of privacy, but not for violating California's Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
