Google Headquarters | File Photo SAN FRANCISCO (Legal Newsline) - Google faces a class action lawsuit in federal court for allegedly invading people's privacy in its COVID-19 exposure notification system. The complaint was filed by plaintiffs Jonathan Diaz and Lewis Bornmann on April 27 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Google and Apple created the Google-Apple Exposure Notification System (GAEN) to help state and local public health departments implement contact tracing. The plaintiffs say that, although Google firmly states private consumer data is safe in the GAEN system, the sensitive information is exposed to any number of third parties that have access to the Google system logs.
