Quick takeaways
- Incognito Mode in Chrome does not make users completely anonymous online, and user expectations may have been shaped by misconceptions and overselling by Google in terms of its privacy features.
- AI-powered chatbots have limitations and vulnerabilities, as demonstrated by a case where a Chevy dealership chatbot mistakenly claimed it could sell a brand new truck for $1, raising questions about control, constraints, and potential legislation regarding their misuse.
Deep dives
Google settles Chrome Incognito Mode lawsuit
Google has reached a settlement in a class action lawsuit regarding its Chrome Incognito Mode. The lawsuit, which was filed in 2020, alleged that Google was still tracking and collecting user data even when they were using Incognito Mode. The plaintiffs argued that Google's actions violated their privacy and deceived them about the true functionality of Incognito Mode. While Google defended its anonymization efforts, the lawsuit shed light on the misconception users had about the level of privacy provided by Incognito Mode.
