A legal complaint was filed against Google for handing over a user’s data to the government before informing the user.
Google says it informs users “when their accounts have been subpoenaed, unless under legal order not to or in an exceptional circumstance.”
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has now chimed in, stating that Google’s exceptions do not fit this situation.
Recently, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed legal complaints against Google. The complaints accuse Google of deceptive trade practices for breaking its own policies after it handed a user’s data to US authorities without notifying them. The tech giant claims that there are certain exceptions where it will not notify the user first. Now the EFF has shared its own response to Google’s statement.
