A California-based person filed a lawsuit against Google for violating privacy policies in the US Federal Court. Despite the 'location history' being shut down, the user's status has been revealed as a result of privacy infringement.In this case, it is mentioned in the case that Google will prevent the geographic location of the user by deactivating certain settings for the operating system and the use of the app, which clearly gave the statement, which is false.

Meanwhile, Google is still one of the largest tech companies in the world, but still it does not make any counter statement, but some parts of their support page are corrected, it says that even if the location history is kept off, it does not affect the services like 'Google Location Service' or 'Find My Device'. Moreover, the location of the user can be expressed through 'map' or 'search' service. In the place of the correction, it was said before, if Google keeps the location history off, Google will not keep any information regarding the location of the user.

A nonprofit organization called The Electronic Privacy Information Center has sent a letter to the United States Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether Google has breached the law.
