Privacy advocates want Google to stop handing consumer data over to ICE

Privacy advocates are calling on Google to stop sharing consumer data with law enforcement agencies such as ICE. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has asked the attorneys general of California and New York to investigate Google for deceptive trade practices. According to the EFF, Google has failed to notify users before disclosing their personal data to law enforcement, despite promising to do so for nearly a decade. This issue came to light in the case of Amandla Thomas-Johnson, a former PhD candidate who had their data handed over to ICE without notification. The EFF argues that Google's actions are a clear violation of user trust and privacy. Google's data sharing practices have raised concerns among privacy advocates, who argue that the company's policies are not transparent enough. The EFF is pushing for greater accountability and transparency from Google, and is seeking an investigation into the company's data sharing practices. The outcome of this investigation could have significant implications for Google and other tech companies, and could lead to changes in the way that they handle user data.
