The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is calling on the attorneys general of California and New York to investigate Google for deceptive trade practices. According to the organization's claim, the technology company does not notify users beforehand before transferring their data to law enforcement agencies like ICE.
Redaksiya reports that EFF states in its letter, “For nearly a decade, Google has promised billions of users that it would inform them before disclosing their personal data to law enforcement agencies.” As noted by EFF, this promise was not fulfilled in the case of Amandla Thomas-Johnson; she was a former professor candidate at Cornell University and says she received no notification that ICE had accessed her university email.
EFF claims that this is not an isolated incident. The article states that EFF's claims continue, but details following the phrase “EFF claims that this is not an isolated company...” are not provided in the submitted text.
