Google Faces Lawsuit Over Misleading Privacy MenuGoogle Faces Lawsuit Over Misleading Privacy MenuGoogle has been battling a lawsuit for three years over allegations that its privacy menu is misleading and fails to provide adequate protection. The lawsuit focuses on a setting called Web & App Activity (WAA) and a subsetting known as sWAA, which supposedly extends privacy protection to include Chrome history and activity from sites, apps, and devices that use Google services.
