Ryan went as far as saying that Google’s dubious operational policies are in violation of the GDPR rulebook.īrave's attack on Google is designed to drive awareness of its privacy and data use practices-especially among younger users who Eich sees as most sensitive to how they are tracked online. "Google's internal data free-for-all should therefore be remedied by data protection enforcement." MORE FROM FORBES The Coronavirus Crisis Has Changed Money Forever By Billy Bambrough "Preliminary analysis conducted by Brave indicates that Google has several hundred processing purposes that are conflated in a vast, internal data free-for-all," Johnny Ryan, Brave's chief policy officer, wrote in a letter to the U.K.'s antitrust regulator ahead of the complaint in Ireland. In mid-March, Brave filed a formal complaint against Google with the Irish General Data Protection Regulation enforcer, where Google's European headquarters are, arguing the search giant has behaved irresponsibly with how it has been collecting and sharing the personal data of its users. Google has been hit with fines totalling around $10 billion by the E.U.'s competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager over the last two years and ordered to change its business practices.
"Google is going to be taken apart over coming years-mostly due to regulators' dislike of its surveillance methods," Eich, who created Javascript back in 1995, said. and Europe are investigating how the world's biggest tech companies, most of them from the U.S., use and monetise data, with European Union antitrust regulators opening an investigation into Google’s collection of data late last year. Meanwhile, competition enforcers in the U.S. "We’re not in the personal data business," Brave's website boasts. It also reckons it drains less battery life and uses less memory. As a result, Brave claims its browser loads websites between three and six times faster than then likes of Google's Chrome, Apple's Safari, Microsoft's Edge, and Mozilla's Firefox.
