Google is handling part of the United States federal government in court.
Particularly, Google is taking legal action against the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, per Reuters. The online search engine business chose to take the federal customer guard dog to court after the firm bought guidance of Google Payment, the part of the business that deals with, well, user payments. According to the CFPB, Google's payment services bring threats for customers, such as possible scams and incorrect deals.
One angle worth keeping in mind is that Google in fact closed down Google Pay previously this year. That's apparently main to Google's defense of its conduct here. According to the business's problem, “an item that no longer exists is incapable of positioning such threat.” Google does not feel guidance (which would be comparable to what is carried out for significant banks and other monetary organizations) is required.
Regardless of this, the CFPB feels that Google's payment services might still present a danger to clients, per TechCrunch. The CFPB is running off of practically 300 consumer problems. Google might not have actually done anything incorrect, however the CFPB plainly feels Google has actually done enough to call for guidance, and Google isn't a fan of that.
It's likewise worth keeping in mind that all of this might disappear as quickly as Donald Trump takes workplace once again in January, offered his administration's public friendliness with significant tech figures.
