Google Fine: Google was stealing your data 'secretly', now fined Rs 11740 crore.. India-employmentnews | 12/05/2025 17:15:02

People think that the data is safe with the world-famous company Google, but is it so, or is the matter something else? Google offers many apps and services to its users, but you may be shocked to know that the company tracks your data and location without your permission. After this thing came to light, it is natural for users to be concerned about privacy.

A huge fine imposed on Google

The State of Texas in America had sued Google that the company was secretly collecting the data of users. In hearing this case, the court has now imposed a huge fine on Google. According to media reports, Google has agreed to pay Rs 11740 crore (about $1.375 billion). This fine has been imposed on the company because the company was using people's personal information in the wrong way.

Who sued Google?

In 2022, the first lawsuit was filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, alleging that the company was collecting personal information such as location data, private browsing history in incognito mode, and even facial biometric details without permission. This is a huge amount paid by Google for violating privacy laws.

This is not the first time this has happened.

This is not the first time Texas has taken such a big action. Remember you that earlier Meta company was fined $ 1.4 billion (about 11980 crores) for using facial recognition data on Instagram and Facebook. Google was also fined 5 thousand 980 crores for doing business in a separate case for doing wrong.
