Judge rules $5 billion Google Chrome Incognito mode lawsuit can go forward [telecom]
Lawsuit contends that "private" browsing mode should block Google's web tracking.

US District Judge Lucy Koh has ruled that a class-action lawsuit against Google's Incognito tracking policies can go forward, Bloomberg reports. The lawsuit contends that Chrome's private browsing "Incognito" mode should also stop Google's server-side tracking and that Google's failure to cease such tracking violates federal wiretap laws. The lawsuit seeks at least $5 billion, or $5,000 per violation for "likely" millions of users.
