Dutch groups sue Google over alleged privacy violation

The Dutch consumers’ association Consumentenbond together with the Privacy Protection Foundation issued legal proceedings against Google on Tuesday for alleged large-scale privacy violations.
Both groups demanded that Google, part of Alphabet Inc , stops “its constant surveillance and sharing of personal data through online advertising auctions” and that it pays 750 euros ($804) in damages “for every consumer who has used Google”.
The statement said 82,000 people had so far joined the claim for damages since the groups announced the action in May 2023.
