U.S. Google users, who recently won a $425 million jury verdict in a privacy class action, are seeking an additional $2.36 billion in profits from Google. They argue this amount reflects the company's allegedly wrongful gains from secretly collecting app activity data from users who disabled tracking features. The jury found Google's actions harmful and without consent. Google denies wrongdoing and plans to appeal, claiming the data was anonymized and that users have control over their data. The case raises questions about the adequacy of the initial damages awarded and the company's ongoing data practices.
