Texas Sues Google for Allegedly Collecting Biometric Data of MILLIONS of People Without Their Consent

Round-the-clock surveillance is a hallmark of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. It is no surprise that Google has been illegitimately collecting data on Americans; what is surprising is that Texas is one of only a handful of states that are fighting back. Now is the time for those who value freedom and individual rights to stand in the breach against the forces of darkness. There ought to be a wholesale rejection of Google and the rapid development of alternatives. Instead, its massive power remains largely unchallenged.

“Texas Sues Google for Allegedly Collecting Biometric Data of Millions Without Consent,” Reuters, October 20, 2022:

WASHINGTON (Reuters)—Texas has filed a lawsuit against Alphabet’s Google for allegedly collecting biometric data of millions of Texans without obtaining proper consent, the attorney general’s office said in a statement on Thursday.

The complaint says that companies operating in Texas have been barred for more than a decade from collecting people’s faces, voices or other biometric data without advanced, informed consent.

Google did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

The collection occurred through products like Google Photos, Google Assistant, and Nest Hub Max, the statement said….

GOOGLE has 3 major product categories:

Politics
Information manipulation
Data-collection & tracking

They have a god complex. They idolize themselves and worship their own ideology; and want to control people’s minds and monitor their behavior as if to be omni-potent and omni-present.
