States' Lawsuit Accuses Google of "Deceptive" Location Tracking
---------------------------------------------------------------

Attorneys general from three states and the District of Columbia have
filed suit against Google, alleging the tech giant deceived customers
over their ability to protect their privacy through Google account
settings. The lawsuit charges Google has for years deployed software
tricks to continuously track a user's location - even when customers
thought they'd opted out by turning off the "Location History" setting
in Google's software.
