ACCC alleges Google misled consumers about expanded use of personal data
This is interesting. The allegation is that Google didn't properly notify users about combining Doubleclick and other Google data.Google did run a popup notification about the change, but:The ACCC alleges that the “I agree” notification was misleading, because consumers could not have properly understood the changes Google was making nor how their data would be used, and so did not - and could not - give informed consent.It's not exactly clear what the ACCC is saying here? Is it that Google didn't explain it enough, or is it that no amount of explanation is enough because user's "could not give informed consent"?
