Day Around the Bay Google Gets Sued for Unlawfully Harvesting Data on Schoolchildren

A serious grass fire is currently raging in the Oakland Hills, classified as a two-alarm fire by local firefighters. Although the fire has been contained, it remains out of control and has already resulted in the destruction of one abandoned structure. In a separate legal matter, parents from California and other states have initiated a lawsuit against Google, accusing the tech giant of misusing donated computers in schools to spy on children for marketing purposes. This allegation is not new for Google, which has been ordered to cease such practices multiple times in the past, raising questions about its adherence to privacy regulations. On a more upbeat note, the Coachella festival is set to begin this Friday, with major performances from artists like Lady Gaga and Green Day available for streaming across eight different stages.

The festival promises a vibrant atmosphere, showcasing some of the biggest names in music. In a grim incident, a helicopter crash in New York City resulted in the deaths of all six individuals on board, including three children, highlighting the ongoing issues of aviation safety. This combination of local and national stories illustrates the diverse challenges and celebrations unfolding in our communities.
