Plaintiffs who accused Alphabet Inc's Google of unlawfully tracking their internet use while on"Incognito" browsing mode can question Chief Executive Sundar Pichai for up to two hours, a California federal judge has ruled.
The plaintiffs are arguing that Pichai has"unique, personal knowledge" of issues relating to the Chrome browser and privacy concerns, a Monday court filing showed."While we strongly dispute the claims in this case, we have cooperated with plaintiffs' countless requests ... We will continue to vigorously defend ourselves," Castañeda said.
In her order on Monday, US Magistrate Judge Susan van Keulen in San Jose, California, said"a few documents establish that specific relevant information was communicated to, and possibly from, Pichai," and therefore supported a request from the plaintiffs' lawyers to question him.
