Google did not admit wrongdoing in the settlement of the class-action case, which accused the firm of “unlawful and intentional interception and recording of individuals’ confidential communications without their consent and subsequent unauthorized disclosure of those communications to third parties.”

    It’s always not an admission. Sometimes it’s more expensive to win a case than to pay out.

    Not saying that’s what happened here, but a settlement doesn’t always mean the one who settled is at fault.

      Google doesn’t care about that kind of money, they care about the discovery process.
