It's a closed browser from a data mining company, of course it kept on mining the user. The "The user didn't want this tracked" is probably juicy information to mark what they were looking at with.
This will be an interesting case.
It really shouldn't be that interesting
How is it not? If there is good proof, that's interesting. Is the judge and jury able to rule well with that information? How does Google respond if found guilty? Proof, verdict, response, each has interest to privacy.
