3 upcoming Google features aimed at making internet safer for you

As the privacy issues and vulnerabilities that the world wide web presents come to the fore, tech giants are being held accountable for their policies. Last year, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had to sit in front of a committee and explain how the social media platform handles users’ data. Facebook was also fined $5 billion for violating consumers’ privacy. Google has also come under the scanner of the European Union (EU) regulators and was slapped with a $5 billion fine for breaching anti-trust laws.

With an aim to help users control their privacy online and secure their data, Google has released a series of updates. The search engine has added features across its various products, including Google Maps, YouTube and Google Assistant.
