Australia finds Google misleading users on data collection

<p>Australia&#39;s federal court found google misleading users of personal location data collected by Android smartphones, the country&#39;s competition regulator said. ACCC said that android phone users were also not informed by Google that turning off location history but leaving the &quot;Web &amp; App Activity&quot; setting &#39;on&#39; would let it continue to collect the data. Google will be penalised by the local regulator, but the amount is not specified yet.<br /> <br /> <br /> &nbsp;</p>
