Google location-tracking tactics troubled its own engineers
Google also began monitoring public reaction to the AP story, including how it was trending across Facebook, Twitter and other influential online services, the documents show. Some of Google's own engineers scolded the company for misleading people about how its location tracking settings worked. After the AP article on location tracking came out two years ago, Google made changes to its privacy settings to make it easier for users to conceal their movements. The recently unsealed documents reveal statements from Googles own engineers that are in conflict with what the company has been representing to the public," Brnovich said in a Wednesday statement. Google is seeking to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the Arizona law only applies to goods and services that charge consumers.
