Yes....Google is facing legal actions against alleged secret tracking of the internet habits of millions of iPhone users.This is the first time Google has been threatened with a group claim over privacy in the UK
A news stated,"10 million UK iPhone users could have grounds to sue Google after it sidestepped Apple security settings to monitor web habits......."
A Facebook group called Safari Users Against Google's Secret Tracking has vowed to hold Google to account for the tracking. It said: "Google deliberately undermined protections on the Safari browser so that they could track users' internet usage and to provide personally tailored advertising based on the sites previously visited. There was no way to know that Google did this. In fact, they made it clear that they did not do this on the Safari browser."
The legal action comes just months after Google was hit with a $22.5m (£14m) fine in the US over a privacy breach between summer 2011 and spring 2012.
