Default Google pays off US over Safari scandal

Google will pay $17 million to 37 states and the District of Columbia as part of a settlement over online tracking.

In a statement, attorney general of New York, Eric Schneiderman said Google violated not only users' privacy, but their trust as well.

The case was based on a claim that Google managed to get around the privacy settings in Apple's Safari browser to use cookies to track users and show them advertisements in 2011 and 2012.

Google said it stopped doing it after it was outed by the tech press.

The case is one of a growing pile of government investigations, lawsuits and punishments related to privacy matters at Google. It seems that the social networking tool called Buzz, illegal data collection by Street View vehicles and accusations of wiretapping to show personalized ads in Gmail still have not been resolved over the pond.
