U.S. state of Arizona files consumer fraud lawsuit against Google

(Reuters) – Arizona on Wednesday filed a consumer fraud lawsuit against Alphabet Inc’s Google alleging that the company used “deceptive” and “unfair” practices to obtain the location data of users.

Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit.
