Google, the world-famous tech giant and the owner of the world’s most popular search engine, is reported to have been spying on Safari users. Safari is popular browser developed by Apple and used mainly by Apple users. It turns out that Google has violated the privacy policy defined by Apple.
All in all there are over claims in Columbia district and 37 US states. The essence of those claims is that Google was tracking users in order to make target advertizing more efficient. This is the lion’s share of Google’s income. The corporation used cookie files to get round the security module built in Safari.
The prosecutors are sure that Google should have warned internet users about this fact. Still, Google ignored this, thereby damaging its own image eventually.
This is not the first time, Google is fined for the same reason. Last year, Google was fined 22,5 million dollars. Still, Google didn’t give up spying and was caught once again.
