Google agreed to a $1.375B data privacy settlement with the Lone Star State over the alleged use of facial recognition, location data, and Chrome incognito. To date, no state has attained a settlement against Google for similar data privacy violations greater than $93M. Texas Attorney General (AG) Ken Paxton won a $1.375B settlement from Google to resolve claims of illegally tracking users’ geolocation, incognito searches, and biometric data. The attorney general said the settlement, which covered allegations in two separate lawsuits against the search engine and app giant, dwarfed all past settlements by other states with Google for similar data privacy violations. Google’s settlement came approximately 10 months after Paxton obtained a $1.4 billion settlement for Texas from Meta to resolve claims of unauthorized use of biometric data of Facebook and Instagram users. The attorney general said in a statement on Friday that Big Tech is not above the law in Texas. AG Paxton secured a $1.375 billion settlement with Google to deliver a historic win for the people of Texas with regard to data privacy and security rights. Even a multistate coalition that included forty states only secured just $391 million—almost a billion dollars less than Texas’s recovery. Paxton sued Google in 2022 for unlawfully tracking and collecting users’ private data. However, Google spokesman Jose Castaneda claimed that the company did not admit any wrongdoing or liability in the settlement, which involved allegations related to the Chrome browser’s incognito setting, disclosures related to location history on the Google Maps app, and biometric claims related to Google Photos. Paxton stated that this billion-dollar settlement was a major win for Texans’ privacy, and it told companies that they would pay for abusing the trust of his state’s residents. “For years, Google secretly tracked people’s movements, private searches, and even their voiceprints and facial geometry through their products and services. I fought back and won.” -Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas Notably, Castaneda said Google did not have to make any changes to products in connection with the settlement and that all of the policy changes that the company made in connection with the allegations were previously announced or implemented. Meta previously agreed to pay a record $1.4 billion to settle a lawsuit by the state of Texas over the Facebook owner’s unauthorized use of biometric data from users. Paxton’s office said ‘unbeknownst to most Texans,’ Meta ran facial recognition software on virtually every face contained in the photographs uploaded to Facebook for over a decade, capturing records of the facial geometry of the people depicted. The AG’s Meta settlement was a rare win against Big Tech’s surveillance overreach—but it was just the tip of the iceberg. Meta’s decade-long facial recognition scheme proved that Silicon Valley viewed privacy as optional until states started to crack down on big techs. Notably, Paxton asserted that any abuse of Texans’ sensitive data would be met with the full force of the law. The Texas AG said the win against Meta stopped the company’s practice of capturing and using the personal biometric data of millions of Texans without the authorization required by law. However, a spokesperson for Meta disclosed that the company was pleased to resolve the matter and looked forward to exploring future opportunities to deepen its business investments in Texas, including potentially developing data centers.

BermudAir has announced that it will start accepting payments for flight tickets in stablecoins by the end of 2025. The airline stated that it will do this through a partnership with Zero Hash. According to a press release , the move will make BermudAir the first airline to offer native stablecoin payments for flight tickets through its official app and website. The companies unveiled the plan at the Bermuda Digital Finance Forum. Speaking on the decision, the CEO of BermudAir, Adam Scott, described the embrace of stablecoins as a way to eliminate the friction of foreign exchange for its international users and help them to cut the cost in fees that they have to pay during such currency conversions. He said: “We are proud to lead the charge in crypto and stablecoin adoption within aviation. Allowing customers to pay for flights with stablecoins isn’t just about embracing the future of travel – it’s about making the experience faster, cheaper, and more inclusive for travelers worldwide.” Bermuda is a famous tourist destination with over 200,000 in annual air travel. The announcement noted that most international travelers pay 1-3% fees when they book tickets with their credit cards. However, such fees will be eliminated once people pay directly with stablecoins, and the speed of stablecoin transactions means that flight ticket confirmation can come on within minutes without any banking delays. Interestingly, there is no mention of which stablecoins will be acceptable under the program. However, major dollar-pegged stablecoins such as USDT and USDC would likely be among the top options. Meanwhile, the infrastructure partner, Zero Hash, believes stablecoins will soon be used in everyday transactions. The company, a major crypto infrastructure provider, believes the numbers support this potential. It noted that almost 750 million people have used stablecoins and crypto over the last two years through fintech platforms such as Robinhood, NuBank, Stripe, Revolut, and co., while stablecoins have seen $3.3 trillion in volume in just 30 days. The company further identified the travel industry as one of the best sectors to lead stablecoin adoption, highlighting how the industry has always embraced financial innovations before other industries. The founder of Zero Hash, Edward Woodford, said: “This partnership with BermudAir exemplifies the convergence of digital finance innovation. By leveraging our stablecoin payments infrastructure, BermudAir can deliver the seamless payments and global accessibility that customers expect in the future of travel.” While BermudAir might be the first airline to start accepting stablecoins, some travel platforms already allow crypto. One key example is the holiday website Travala.com, which accepts several crypto assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and several others. BermudAir’s planned adoption of stablecoin payments only highlights the broader trend of adoption that has enabled the stablecoin market cap to reach $242.85 billion. The ease of using stablecoins and their access to fiat currencies such as the US Dollar and Euro has made them one of the most acceptable crypto products globally. While many use them for transactions and payments, they have also become a way for people in developing economies to save in USD and hedge against inflation. The growth remains in full force, with Stripe recently launching Stablecoin Financial Accounts, a product that allows businesses in over 100 countries to send and receive stablecoins. The new feature came a few months after Stripe had paid $1 billion to acquire the stablecoin payment platform Bridge. Meanwhile, Meta is also reportedly considering the integration of stablecoins into its payment platforms. According to Fortune, the company that tried its hands at stablecoins with project Libra in 2019 is currently discussing with several stablecoin issuers how to integrate stablecoins. Despite all the developments around stablecoins, there is still no regulation for the US sector, and recent efforts hit a roadblock on Thursday after several pro-crypto Democrats voted against cloture. Their decision means the Stablecoin bill remains on the floor of the Senate for debate and cannot advance to a full vote. It is still unclear what will happen next for the proposed legislation.
