Google has been adding various privacy improvements to its services and apps in the past few years, but it wasn’t solely out of its own volition. Google’s own privacy-infringing problems forced the company to reconsider some of its practices.

Newly unredacted documents in a lawsuit against Google revealed that the Search giant made it nearly impossible for users to keep location data private from Google.
