What's your thoughts on this? any chance it will ever get to class action status or are G's legal pockets too big for that to have a chance?

Saw this earlier today in French, and couldn't find an English language version ( the French online magazine "le point" didn't cite the source of the story, they rarely do if they have read it on an English language site :(( not very ethical of them ) to post..thanks for posting the original story..
Will G try to "squash it"..definitely..
Will they succeed in stopping it..hopefully not.."wait and see" ..

Why people confuse "tracking" with "turning off location history" is beyond me.

As with legal action back in the day with Microsoft, it was/is the public perception and PR consequences that resulted in change. Money won't scare Google but PR threats most certainly will. From a corporate perspective they certainly have their house in order regarding what's important. Teflon.
