Google was fined $ 17 million for tracking users on Safari
Safari is the Apple-branded browser that is commonly used on Macs and iPhones / iPads. To ensure user privacy, Safari blocks all tracking cookies from other websites, including Google.
However, for the purpose of tracking and statistics of all content that users search and access, Google has spent 17 million USD for 37 states to break the security above. Stanford researchers have discovered Google's secret and demanded a nationwide investigation.
The agreements were announced on Monday morning, ending nearly two years of national exploration and investigation on allegations that Google ignored user privacy settings and set cookies voluntarily. into the browser. With the case of tracking similar users, in August 2012, Google also had to pay $ 22 million for the FTC.
However, the countries struggling to "face up" Google are not entirely beneficial to users. It may limit Google's ability to track personal information, but services like Google Reader have to shut down in some markets because the company cannot explain why they need privacy from users.
