Google is trying to avoid public shaming by asking a French court to suspend an order forcing the company to notify users of its recent €150,000 fine, reports The Wall Street Journal. Frances privacy watchdog, the Commission Nationale de lInformatique et des Libertés, fined Google for its 2012 privacy policy change, which allowed it to consolidate 60 privacy policies into one and combine data from individual users across its different services. Thats much larger than any fine-print, and placing the message on Googles classically pristine homepage would ensure that all users see it. This is something weve never seen before, Google representative Patrice Spinosi said during Thursdays hearing.
