The investigation found google guilty of misleading consumers by violating US location tracking rules. 40 US states have signed an agreement with him of about $ 400 million. It is the largest multistate privacy agreement in American history. The world's leading tech company google (Google) has suffered a major setback in the location tracking case in America. It has agreed with 40 US states to settle the case. Under this, google will pay damages of $ 400 million (more than Rs 32 billion) to 40 states including Michigan.

The investigation found google guilty of misleading consumers by violating US location tracking rules. Michigan's Attorney General Dana Nessel's office said on monday that 40 US states have settled with the tech company for nearly $400 million (USD 391.5 million) for misleading consumers. This is the largest multistate privacy settlement with attorneys general in US history.

According to Nessel, google gets most of its revenue or revenue from the use of the personal data of people using its browser or apps. Due to the violation of privacy laws, google has entered into this agreement with the Attorney Generals of 40 states including Michigan. According to the Attorney General's office of Michigan, google uses users or consumers for personal interest by tracking their location without giving information or without their permission. In the last few years, google, Amazon, and other American tech giants have faced strict regulations in many countries globally. They have been fined heavily for violating privacy or confidentiality rules.

Due to online access, google tracks the location of users without their permission or without informing them and uses it for personal interest. Due to this agreement, he will now have to bring transparency in this matter. He will have to make the users aware of the location data and tell them that their location data is being used by him. If customers or users do not allow location tracking, then google will not be able to do this
