Google Seeks To Throw Out UK Safari Tracking Suit

Posted by Unknown on from the international-relations dept.

judgecorp writes "In the latest twist to the saga of Google's tracking of Safari users, the tech giant has asked to have a U.K. lawsuit dismissed. Google says it is bound by California laws, so plaintiffs will have to come to the U.S. and sue there. Law firm Olswang is bringing the suit on behalf of British users whose Safari browser settings were overridden to help Google target ads; it argues that international organizations should respect the laws that apply where their customers live."

    Hardly an exploit. I'd give 'loophole' to you. Not really Google's fault if Safari left a massive gaping hole in their third party cookie code.
