A jury in the United States has ruled that Google infringed the privacy of nearly 100 million Google users who requested not to have their account data tracked. The jury, made up of eight people in a federal court in San Francisco, found that Google deceived users regarding the privacy switch in their account settings, which was supposed to prevent the company from collecting user data in third-party apps. Even when 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 law. The jury found Google responsible for privacy infringement, but not in violation of California's Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
