United States of America: Announced Arizona lawsuit against Google for location tracking

Arizona State Attorney General Mark Brnovich filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging that the company pursued unlawful collection of users' location data. In particular, the complaint accuses Google of gathering location information through many Google services on Android and iPhone devices without meaningful consent obtained by the users. Moreover, Google's complex settings supposedly hinder the interruption of data collection by the users. The Attorney General argues that this behaviour violates the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act, which makes it unlawful for undertakings to misrepresent their business practices. The complaint does not detail the amount of money requested for damages.
