Google ‘Spying’ On People’s App Use, Lawsuit Claims

Google employees “spy” on smartphone users, collecting their sensitive data and information about their use of other companies’ apps, New York resident Robert McCoy alleges in a new class-actioncomplaint.

The lawsuit centers on “Android Lockbox,” a program that “allows Google employees to spy on how Android Smartphone users interact with non-Google apps,” according to McCoy’s complaint, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
