So basically, a minimal cost of business? This won't deter them from the next violation. Probably paid with a smile on their faces
Didn't see it in the article, but who gets this money? Do they send the 4 billion people using Android $0.017 for illegally spying on them?
The idea that sending the money to the people would cost outrageously more than the payout shows how ludicrously small the payout is.
It's a class action lawsuit so i think the people that sued ?
Lol wish I can pay $2 for running that red light and killing that disabled person
