谷歌以6800万美元和解谷歌助手隐私诉讼案 谷歌同意支付6800万美元，以和解关于其语音助手非法监视用户以向其投放广告等行为的指控。谷歌在此集体诉讼案件的和解中未承认不当行为；该诉讼指控该公司在未经同意的情况下非法且故意截取并记录个人机密通信，随后未经授权将这些通信披露给第三方。该诉讼还声称，从这些录音中收集的信息被错误地传输给第三方，用于定向广告及其他用途。本案焦点在于 “误接受” 现象，即谷歌助手被指即使用户未故意使用唤醒词启动，它仍会激活并记录用户的通信内容。 Google pays $68M to settle claims its voice assistant spied on users Google agreed to pay $68 million to settle claims its voice assistant illegally spied on users to, among other things, serve them advertisements, Reuters reports. Google did not admit wrongdoing in the settlement of the-action case, which accused the firm of “unlawful and intentional interception and recording of individuals’ confidential communications without their consent and subsequent unauthorized disclosure of those communications to third parties.” The suit further claimed that “information gleaned from these recordings was wrongly transmitted to third parties for targeted advertising and for other purposes.”
