Australia's consumer watchdog will pay the legal costs for one of the world's biggest companies after a court dismissed a claim Google deceived or misled users about the use of their data. 9News
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission alleged the tech giant violated consumer law by not properly informing users their personal data could be used to track them across the internet and target ads.
He said those who took the effort to read all of the information Google provided would have been properly informed.A notification presented to Google account holders between 2016 and 2018 told users it would make it easier for them to control their data and information and make advertising "more relevant".
Further information about the changes was available through links, and Google had to cater to people who were going to skip reading about the changes, those who would skim further information and those who would actually read it.
