Google agreed to settle a $5 billion privacy lawsuit alleging it spied on users who used the “incognito" mode in its Chrome browser to track internet use.
As it is true that very little of settlements or awards like this will be paid out to affected users, I’d like to see legislation amended so that a large percentage of the sum has to be used for major privacy education campaigns, pushed online & through every other media, created and overseen by robust privacy organisations.
In a case like this, I’d want to compel Google to target users of Incognito Mode with privacy education material - again created & overseen by privacy orgs.
Last thing Google wants is to be compelled to show slick, unskippable privacy education clips on every Youtube video.
