The Massachusetts Department of Public Health coordinated with Google to covertly install tracking apps on more than a million Android phones, a class-action lawsuit alleges. Google was allegedly urged by the government to install spyware on cell phones during the COVID-19 pandemic as a method of contract tracing.
The New Civil Liberties Alliance launched a lawsuit on Monday that claimed the Massachusetts Department of Public Health worked with Google to develop a contract tracing app in April 2021. The lawsuit — filed in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts — accuses the DPH of installing "spyware that deliberately tracks and records movement and personal contacts onto over a million mobile devices without their owners' permission and awareness."
The lawsuit claims that the mobile app was not voluntarily downloaded by very many people.
However, the Massachusetts Public Health Department is accused of collaborating with Google to secretly auto-install COVID spyware onto over a million phones without anyone's knowledge or consent.
