Google ordered to pay $425 million in an app data collection lawsuit, OpenAI offers ChatGPT Projects to free users, and the largest illegal sports streaming service has been shut down

About this episode

Google must pay $425 million to the plaintiffs of a class action lawsuit that accused the company of collecting users' data even after they've turned off a tracking feature, a federal jury has decided. Plus, OpenAI has announced that it's making its Projects feature available to free users of ChatGPT; and the sports broadcasting piracy network Streameast has been shut down after it was investigated for a year by a US-based anti-piracy group. Streameast is the largest illegal sports streaming platform in the world, and while active it offered its users free access to 80 unauthorised domains. Learn more about your ad choices.
