Google to Permit Device Fingerprinting Starting in 2025

/ 1 min read

🕵️‍♂️ Google’s 2025 Policy Change to Allow Device Fingerprinting Raises Privacy Concerns. In a significant shift, Google announced it will permit device fingerprinting starting in 2025, a move criticized by privacy advocates as a major setback for user privacy. Device fingerprinting enables the tracking of users across the web by collecting unique device characteristics, which can lead to increased surveillance and data collection without explicit consent. This policy change has sparked debates about the implications for online privacy and the potential for misuse of personal information. Experts warn that this could undermine efforts to protect user anonymity and data security in an increasingly digital world.
