Google loses $314 million lawsuit over data transfers when Android phones are idle
A group in California alleged that these transfers were harming users - and the jury agreed. Now there is a separate lawsuit for the other 49 US states.
314m what a joke! Still, good to see them lose this court case
If it could be repeated 49 times, that might start to add up a little
Always nice to see a positive outcome, let's hope they lose the appeal.
I hate that this is how our legal system has evolved. Trial courts mean nothing when a corporation loses, because invariably an appeal is filed, and if the circuit court upholds a ruling, well, time to talk to SCOTUS.
Glad I'm running GrapheneOS. The only thing Google play services is allowed to do is validate apps and give me notifications.
Does banking apps work on your cellphone?
Not OP but I'm also running GrapheneOS. After some initial difficulty I had with one of my banking apps I got everything to work just fine.
What does not work unfortunately is paying via google wallet or revolut.
