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.

    Are they gonna stop the theft?! to ask is to answer

    The only practical way to stop these crimes against your person is to take control of your devices by installing your own choice of software that you control.

    The government, current clown admin or otherwise, aint never gonna protect the peasants from corporate abuse. They are colluding against the working class. That much is clear.

    $314.6 million fine is a whopping 0.35% of Google’s 2025 Q1 earnings. Barely a tisk tisk.
