Everyone is taking its shot at Google. The latest, is because a public interest group wants to prevent Google from implementing its new privacy policy changes.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has filed suit in D.C district court alleging that Google's upcoming privacy changes that are set to occur on March 1st, will cause "irreparable injury to EPIC and the public." They claim that the change violates a settlment agreement that Google and the FTC reached last March forbidding any privacy changes without the consent of users.
Now EPIC is asking the court to issue a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction compelling the FTC to enforce the settlement agreement.
EPIC doesn't want Google to unfiy user data across Google's multiple platforms such as Google+, Gmail, its search engine and so on. This would mean that there would be more accurate targeted advertising, since there's more info on, you.
