    1. In Texas, Big Tech is not above the law. For years, Google secretly tracked people's movements, private searches and even their voiceprints and facial geometry through their products and services. I fought back and won.

    1. We are pleased to put them behind us, and we will continue to build robust privacy controls into our services.
    2. This settles a raft of old claims, many of which have already been resolved elsewhere, concerning product policies we have long since changed.
