This money will never touch the hands of those who's privacy was exploited.
The money will go to Texas and lawyers.
Google will do it again because they now have knowledge of the price of breaking the law. States will sure and make money and citizens will pay the real price.

good. fuck google and their horrendous business practices.
when you get a new phone where android is the only option as an operating system, the first thing to appear when you turn it on is allowing google to own all of your data. if you decline, it says you must return your phone to the dealer or accept.
fuck this mobster shit.
- Paying a billion dollars to the state government of Texas and getting out of being forced to make any changes to their products is just the continuation of mobster shit tho

Which they'll use to build their concentration camps.
- What? I feel like this doesn't make sense in this context unless I'm out of the loop on something.
  
  Yeah, Texas defending privacy rights in undeniably a good thing.
