Google faces mass legal action at High Court over data collection

GOOGLE faces a mass legal action at the High Court today over allegations that it unlawfully collected personal information from millions of iPhone users.
Campaign group Google You Owe Us, led by former Which? director Richard Lloyd, is seeking at least £1 billion in compensation for around 5.4 million iPhone users.
The lawsuit alleges that, between June 2011 and February 2012, Google bypassed default privacy settings on iPhones to track users’ online behaviour on the Safari web browser.
