In order to resolve a lawsuit alleging that it surreptitiously monitored the internet activity of users who believed they were surfing in private, Google agreed to delete billions of data records.<\/p>\n

Reuters also highlights that plaintiffs\u2019 attorneys estimated the agreement\u2019s worth at over $5 billion and as much as $7.8 billion. Users have the option to sue Google individually for damages, but the firm is not paying any.<\/p>\n

People claimed that Google improperly tracked users who turned their Chrome browser to \u201cIncognito\u201d mode and other browsers to \u201cprivate\u201d browsing mode, using Google\u2019s analytics, cookies, and apps.<\/p>\n

As part of the settlement, Google will\u2014as it has already started\u2014update its disclosures on the data it gathers during \u201cprivate\u201d surfing. Additionally, it will grant users of Incognito a five-year restriction on third-party cookies.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the only roadblock Google is facing at the moment. Previously, Google, a division of Alphabet Inc., announced that it would cease producing photographs of people after facing backlash over how its Gemini AI<\/a> algorithm handled images based on race. According to reports, Google has acknowledged that they are currently addressing recent problems with the image generating component of Gemini. The business then decided to stop producing human photographs and to soon make available an improved version.<\/p>\n
