The lawsuit, Taylor V. Google LLC, alleges that Google was complicit in allowing Android devices to send a host of user data to Google without the permission of the users. Not only does the suit highlight the privacy implications, it also hammers Google for using up the users' cellular data. According to the details of the lawsuit, Google denies any wrongdoing in this case, but has agreed to settle for $135 million. As part of that settlement, Google will have to update the Play Store Terms of Service, as well as Android's setup screens, to disclose the data collection and offer users a choice whether or not to opt into it. The company will also disable a related setting on Android devices, though it's not clear what that setting exactly is.
The lawsuit estimates that there will be approximately 100 million class members here. You might think that'd entitle everyone to $135, but the terms of the settlement cap the payouts to $100 maximum. While that may be the final number, the settlement will first need to pay administrative costs, taxes, lawyer fees, and other expenses, so it could be lower depending on what's left.
