   In a proposed class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court   
   for the Northern District of California, Google is facing a potential   
   $5 billion dollar class action for alleged privacy law violations. The   
   complaint alleges that millions of Google users have been impacted and   
   asks for damages of at least $5,000 per harmed individual. Implicated   
   are multiple Google offerings, including Google Analytics, Google Ad   
   Manager, website plug-ins, and the Google Sign-In button leveraged by   
   many websites. The ubiquity of these products and services is well   
   known to many who participate in the online ecosystem. According to   
   the complaint, over 70% of online websites and publishers use Google   
   Analytics alone.
