Submission + - Google Sued For Tracking Users' :Locations (ibtimes.com)
RedEaredSlider writes: Two Android phone users are suing Google for $50 million in the wake of revelations that their phones might be tracking their locations.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on April 27, is seeking class-action status.
The plaintiffs, Julie Brown and Kayla Molaski, are residents of Oakland County. The two say in the suit that Google's privacy policy did not say that the phones broadcast their location information. Further, they say Google knew that most users would not understand that the privacy policy wouldn't allow for Google to track users' locations.
