A jury in San Jose, California, ruled that Google must pay over $314.6 million to Android users for misusing their cell phone data. The lawsuit claimed Google collected data from idle devices without permission, benefiting from users' cellular data. Google plans to appeal, arguing that the verdict misinterprets essential services for Android devices. The class action was filed in 2019 on behalf of approximately 14 million Californians, while a similar federal lawsuit is set for trial in April 2026.
