Google隱私爭議再起！Chrome用戶訴訟勝訴

近期，Google面臨一場嚴重的隱私權訴訟。眾多Chrome使用者指控Google在他們選擇不同步帳戶的情況下，仍持續蒐集個人資料，侵犯其隱私權。而聯邦上訴法院認為，先前駁回此案的下級法院在審視Google的隱私政策時，並未充分考慮到普通使用者的角度。亦即，聯邦上訴法院認為Google的隱私政策並不夠清楚，從而導致使用者誤以為自己已經拒絕了資料蒐集。面對聯邦上訴法院判決，Google表達了不同意的立場。Google堅稱，其已在隱私政策中清楚地說明了資料蒐集的方式和目的，使用者是有充分的知情權的。

The appellate ruling said the district court should have looked at the privacy policy consent defense from the perspective of a typical Chrome user, instead of "attributing to that user the skill of an experienced business lawyer or someone who is able to easily ferret through a labyrinth of legal jargon to understand what he or she is consenting to."
