Judge gives go-ahead to Google Assistant privacy suit

The case stems from so-called false accepts.

But sometimes Google Assistant’s hearing is faulty.

But the judge said unit owners were unlikely to have interpreted the policy that way.

The judge dismissed the plaintiffs' California consumer protection claims, though they may be amended and refiled.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs didn’t respond to a request for comment.
