Google allowing Android app vendors to illegally collect user data, amended lawsuit alleges

Posted on May 16, 2013 by pogowasright.org

Jaikumar Vijayan reports:

Several users of devices running Google’s Android operating system have filed an amended version of an earlier lawsuit accusing the company of illegally collecting, and allowing others to collect, extensive amounts of mobile user data without proper notice or consent.

The lawsuit, filed last week in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, is an updated version of a consolidated lawsuit from January 2012. It alleged that Google’s actions had harmed the privacy, security and financial interests of the six named plaintiffs in the case.
