Privacy advocates on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit aimed at forcing
government officials to punish Google over alleged privacy violations.
.
In the complaint, the Electronic Privacy and Information Center said
Googles plans to tie together data of users across services beginning
March 1 violates a settlement agreement the company struck with the
Federal Trade Commission last summer over a separate privacy controversy.
.
EPIC asked the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia to force
the FTC to take action against Google. If the FTC finds that the firm
violated its June 2011 settlement terms, Google could be forced to pay
fines of $10,000 for each violation an amount that could explode because
of the popularity of Googles services, experts say.
.
The imminent change in Googles business practices threatens the same
customer interests that the FTCs consent decree sought to protect, EPIC
said in its suit. If the FTC does not act to prevent the change, all
Google users, including EPIC, face an imminent harm that is both certain
and great.
.
The FTC didnt comment specifically on Googles new privacy policy changes,
but spokeswoman Claudia Farrell said the agency takes compliance with our
consent orders very seriously and always looks carefully at any evidence
that they are being violated.
.
The agencys settlement with Google last summer came after it charged
Google with violating privacy laws by exposing information of Gmail users
when rolling out its now-defunct social network, Google Buzz.
.
Under the terms of the FTC settlement, Google is required to clearly
notify users of new changes in its privacy policies.
.
The new lawsuit comes after U.S. lawmakers and regulators in Europe have
raise concerns that the firm is overstepping privacy rights by creating
more robust profiles of users, stitching together profiles of users across
various Google services.
