RE: State of Arizona v. Geog/e
Dear Judge Thoinason,
Thank you for your time and for your service to our county and our state.

Recent news articles indicate that in State QfAri'zonn Geog/e that Google has requested that the court order that
records obtained by the Arizona Attorney General?s Of?ce during the Office?s investigation of the company,
regarding alleged invasions of user privacy and potential violations of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act, remain
secret.I

1 offer no comment regarding the allegations made against Google?s potential violations of the Arizona Consumer
Fraud Act. However, multiple public news stories have detailed Google?s troubling potential violations of
Arizonans? and Americans? privacy. For example, in August 2018, an AP story detailed how Google falsely told
consumers that ?with location tracking off, the places you go are no longer stored.?2 The story concluded that
Google misled consumers and continued to collect location data through other settings.

My colleagues in Congress and I have previously expressed concerns over Google?s concerning invasions of
privacy. All branches of our government exist to protect the ?mdarnental liberties of our citizens especially their
privacy.

The public has a strong interest. in transparency and learning the Full extent to which Google and other tech
companies may be spying and surreptitiously collecting information from Arizonans, including constituents whom I
represent.

Any information that is not considered a trade secret or proprietary to Google should be made available for the
public.
