Maybe I can get Google's lawyers to help settle a lawsuit my neighbors brought against me for installing spycams in all their bathrooms for a similar portion of my exorbitant wealth. Every neighbor will get an IOU for $0.000069.
Soooorry. We're sooooo sorry. Pwease forgive us... actually we don't care if you forgive us. This settlement prohibits any further indemnification. No wrongdoing, and you're libeling us if you say otherwise. See ya'll in court next week.
Yea, the courts just dont fine businesses correctly. They made billions off spying and just pay a small percentage. Just like wage theft.
