[governance] Google Caught Tracking Safari Users: What You Need to Know

[Imran Ahmed Shah]

With reference to piracy of data, Google has accepted a huge fine through the court orders. Googlepaida near-record $500 million criminal forfeiture penalty. He also was ordered to pay the cost of pirated material. Thus, in return, Google got the ownership of the data and contents of the Users. Google is making them pay for their material and getting ownership rights legally through a middle company.
