  • “For years, Google prioritized profit over the privacy of people who use Google products and services,” Ellen Rosenblum, the Oregon attorney general, said.
  • Rosenblum spearheaded the case alongside Nebraska. “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.”
