Judge Sets Friday Status Videoconference in Wiretap Case vs. Google

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers for Northern California in Oakland scheduled a status videoconference Friday at 9 a.m. in the website wiretap case against Google, said a text-only clerk’s notice Tuesday (docket 4:20-cv-03664). Plaintiffs Chasom Brown, Maria Nguyen and William Byatt allege Google tracks and collects consumer browsing history and other web activity data regardless of what safeguards consumers use to protect their privacy, including when they activate Google’s recommended “private browsing mode.”
