Koh has a deeper history with the company as a vocal critic of its privacy policies. She forced Google in one notable case to disclose its scanning of emails to build profiles and target advertising.\nIn this case, Google is accused of relying on pieces of its code within websites that use its analytics and advertising services to scrape users’ supposedly private browsing history and send copies of it to Google’s servers.\nGoogle makes it seem like private browsing mode gives users more control of their data, Amanda Bonn, a lawyer representing users, told Koh.
