Microsoft lawyers ridiculed Google as the Internet "dictator"

According to The New York Times, Pamela Jones Harbour, a lawyer from Fulbright & Jaworski Law Firm, recently said on behalf of Microsoft and other technology companies that Google has become the Internet's "dictator", arbitrarily collecting network information. The behavior seriously jeopardizes the privacy of the user's private information.

Pamela Jones Harbour, who has served on the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for seven years, said, "The privacy of Internet users is currently in a very bad situation. & rdquo; Because, Google has said that it has exclusive market share of about 80% of the global Internet search business and about 98% of the mobile device search business market share.

Although the FTC’s investigation into Google’s unfair competition has been going on for two years, the huge market share will only make Google more unscrupulous to collect sensitive data from users, thus Information security has a serious impact.

At the same time, Pamela Jones Harbour also said that Google is no longer a “search engine company” or “online service company”, but a “data collection company”. The company did not pursue the promise of “Democracy Internet”, and users are currently unable to make choices about whether to allow Google to collect its own data.

According to previous news, Google’s user privacy policy has been around for a long time, and it was alleged earlier this year to track user access by bypassing the privacy settings of Microsoft Internet Explorer and Apple’s Safari browser. In the middle of November, the US federal judge approved the FTC's decision to impose a $22.5 million fine on Google for violating the privacy of Safari users, but also rejected the consumer rights protection organization's request for more severe punishment against Google.
