Google CEO Sundar Pichai Sought to Keep Incognito Mode Issues Out of Spotlight, Lawsuit Alleges
According to a new court document, Google CEO Sundar Pichai was warned in 2019 that it was problematic to describe the company’s incognito browsing mode as “private”, but it persisted because he didn’t want the feature” Having attention”. Google spokesperson José Castañeda told Reuters that the document “wrongly described e-mails that reference unrelated second-hand and third-hand accounts.”
In recent years, as the public’s concerns about online surveillance have increased, the privacy disclosures of the Alphabet department have caused regulatory and legal reviews.
In June last year, users accused Google of illegally tracking their Internet usage while browsing incognito in its Chrome browser. Google has made it clear that Incognito will only prevent data from being saved to the user’s device and is fighting lawsuits.
In a written update on trial preparations submitted to the U.S. District Court on Thursday, users’ lawyers stated that they “expected to seek the removal” of Pichai and Google’s chief marketing officer Lorraine Tohill.
The lawyers quoted Google documents as saying that Pichai “was told in 2019 that as part of a project promoted by Twohill, stealth should not be called’private’ because it may exacerbate the protection provided by stealth mode. Know the misunderstanding.” “
The document continued, “As part of these discussions, Pichai decided that he “does not want to put invisibility in the spotlight,” and Google continues to fail to resolve these known issues.”
Castañeda said that the team “frequently discusses ways to improve the privacy controls built into our services.” Google’s lawyers said they would oppose efforts to remove Pichai and Tuhir.
Last month, the plaintiff dismissed Brian Rakowski, Google’s vice president, who he called the “father of incognito mode” in the document. He testified that, although Google claimed that the incognito function can be browsed “privately”, according to the plaintiff’s statement, the user’s expectations “may be inconsistent with reality.”
Google’s lawyers rejected the summary and wrote that Rakowski also stated that terms including “private,” “anonymous,” and “invisible” and appropriate context “are very helpful in explaining the incognito mode.”
