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.”

Surfaces of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra with Snapdragon 8S Gen 3

Early this week, renders of the Edge 50 Fusion appeared, and Motorola has previously stated that the Edge 50 Pro will ship on April 3. The highest-end smartphone in the Edge 50 series, the Edge 50 Ultra, has now been shown in renders.

The phone is depicted in the renderings in peach fuzz and black with a vegan leather finish, while sisal, a beige color, will have a brushed surface. As opposed to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the Pro variant and the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Edge 50 Fusion, the phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.

A 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom are all included in the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s feature set. Additionally, there is a triple LED flash on the right side and a laser autofocus feature above the periscope lens.

Although the phone’s display, battery, and charging specifications are yet unknown, the Edge 50 Pro is said to include 12GB of RAM and support both 50W and 125W wired and wireless charging.

It is anticipated that this will launch as the Motorola X50 Ultra in China. It is unclear if the India launch may be expected on the same day as the rest of the Edge 50 series phones, even if this is scheduled to go official on April 3.
