Google has agreed to pay $68 million to settle a lawsuit that claimed its voice assistant inappropriately spied on smartphone users and violated their privacy. This settlement is the result of prolonged legal battles concerning data privacy issues. The company admitted that its voice recognition system could be activated unintentionally, recording conversations without users' knowledge. Such actions have raised serious concerns about how tech giants handle personal information. In a statement, Google emphasized that it is continuously working on improving its data protection systems.
