Major information technology providers opposed to the broadening of class action litigation related to consumer protections have taken their case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The companies are hoping the court will strike down a lower court ruling which makes it easier for consumers to file class action suits. The tech companies may not have to wait too long for a decision. The Supreme Court conducted oral arguments in
TransUnion LLC v. Ramirez Tuesday and is expected to issue a decision by the end of June.
At issue is the legal standard governing how members of a consumer class can demonstrate to a court that they have experienced harm in the management of their personal data.
Google Sued Over Purported Privacy Violations for Real-Time Bidding Auctions
May 6, 2021
On Wednesday, consumers filed a class-action complaint against Google LLC in the Northern District of California, alleging that Google falsely presents that it protects its consumers’ privacy and instead engages in various privacy violations through its targeted ad bidding system.
According to the complaint, Google has often said “that it values privacy and gives users control of their personal information” going as far as promising users that “it ‘will never sell any personal information to third parties’ and ‘you get to decide how your information is used.’” However, the plaintiff contended that these are false promises because Google allegedly “monitors its consumers’ digital footprint, then makes billions of dollars by selling their sensitive personal information.”
