The lawsuit arose after Google on March 1, 2012 scrapped a variety of
privacy policies for different products, and created a single, unified
policy letting it merge user data generated through platforms such as
Gmail, Google Maps and YouTube.

Users complained that Google made this change without their consent and
with no way to opt out, in a bid to better compete for ad revenue against
Facebook <http://www.reuters.com/subjects/facebook?lc=int_mb_1001> Inc and
other social media companies "where all of a consumer's personal
information is available in one site."

They said this jeopardized their privacy by exposing names, email addresses
and geographic locations, increasing the threat of harassment or identity
theft by third parties.
