A California judge denied Google’s request for summary judgment in a lawsuit filed by users.
The lawsuit was filed in 2020 by users alleging the company illegally invaded their privacy.
The judge highlighted a critical point countering Google’s argument.
The plaintiffs presented evidence showing that the company stored both regular and private browsing data in the same logs.
All the evidence strengthens the case against Google's data collection practices, raising concerns about users' privacy rights.
In light of the manner in which Google collects data, the Court is convinced that monetary damages alone would not suffice as the only solution.
The ruling holds significant weight, as it brings the case one step closer to either reaching a settlement or proceeding to trial.
