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.
In want my share. In fact, we can dispute the settlement. Where the fuck is my money? We should ask.
It's a class action lawsuit so i think the people that sued ?
