Lawsuit claims Google knew its ‘Incognito mode’ doesn't protect users’ privacy

It can be hard to keep track of all the lawsuits against Google.

The Department of Justice filed one in 2020 and might have another one coming soon. Texas has at least two. Arizona recently settled theirs with the search giant for $85 million. And Washington state and D.C. have lawsuits, too.

It’s not just governments. Video game maker Epic and dating app owner Match Group are suing Google, alleging anticompetitive behavior in how it runs its app store. The Republican National Committee is suing Google for sending politicians’ emails straight to spam folders. 

Here’s another one to add to the list. Right now, a California judge is deliberating on whether to allow a class-action lawsuit representing millions of Google users to go forward. A group of consumers is alleging the company misled people about what data it collected when they were using private browsing modes on both Google’s Chrome web browser and browsers built by other companies such as Apple and Mozilla.
