Google Must Face Class Action Over Chrome's Data Collection Practices

Federal appeals court revives lawsuit, questioning whether users consented to data collection without enabling sync.

The lawsuit alleges Google collected data from Chrome users without explicit consent since 2016.
A federal appeals court has overturned a previous dismissal, sending the case back to a lower court for trial.
Plaintiffs argue Google misled users by suggesting data would not be collected unless the sync feature was enabled.
Google maintains that users consented to data collection by agreeing to its general privacy policy.
The case highlights ongoing legal challenges for Google regarding user privacy and data practices.
