EFF: EFF to State AGs: Investigate Googles Broken Promise to Users Targeted by the Government
April 14, 2026
Incident Summary
The Electronic Frontier Foundation filed complaints with the California and New York attorneys general concerning Google. The complaints allege Google engaged in deceptive trade practices by failing to warn users when law enforcement demanded their data. The issue matters because it concerns user privacy expectations and how a company communicates about government data demands. Google users whose data was requested by law enforcement could be affected. No outcome or action by the attorneys general is described in the available details.
