- (General Dispatch) – The Austrian Federal Court ruled that google violated Australian law by misleading users about personal location data stored on android mobile devices.
- The decision comes emanating from the competition and consumer governing body, which mainly prosecutes google for obvious violations since 2019 according to its regulations.
- The main cause for which Australia sues google, is because the privacy policies of users are rights that cannot be transgressed by companies.
- Similarly, the company Google will appeal to the federal court, apparently the Court rejects several of the allegations of the governing body of competition and consumers.
- Google also stated that the platform’s location history settings do not represent a violation of users’ security policies.
- Meanwhile, the plaintiffs are seeking to sanction the company through injunctions and monetary damages.
- Experts comment that the terms and conditions outlined in the big tech companies are really complex to execute actions in a deliberate way.
- Ultimately, Google will have to wait for the federal court to consider the case before rendering a convincing decision, according to the rhetoric that is stirring in the Austrian nation.
