Google asks judge to reject $2.3B case and limits on advertising data practices

Google urged a federal judge to turn down proposed remedies in a long-running privacy case, calling them disproportionate. The demands include more than $2.3 billion in profits and stopping certain ad-related data practices, which Google deemed unnecessarily severe. 

This case is worth following not just because it involves a tech giant and one of the prominent forces handling user data today, but also because it shows that privacy enforcement does not always end with a fine.
