Perhaps facing reality head on is the most honest way to try to escape it.

    2. What wonderful news 🗞️ I wish I had heard before today. I checked mine after reading your comment. The hit was like a brick, I had already emptied both spam and trash. Facebook awarded me $4.98 due to their little breach of our privacy. I can't help but wonder what Google would have to pay? I dare to say the same minimal amount if any.

    3. Mine's also in Gmail spam. We ought to sue Google for that!

    5. Got the email today in my spam folder. Look for "Class Action Notice of Settlement – Taylor v. Google" in spam.

    6. Literally the only thing in spam. None of the obvious spam emails I get weekly were in there, but that one is. Absolute bullshit. They deserve to payout double for that.

    7. What's the subject? I feel like I should have received it too since I've only used Android phones

    1. There's NO way this isn't intentional! They did the same thing with the Google Play antitrust state attorneys general lawsuit. Interestingly, class action notices for non-Google companies never seem to have any issue hitting my Gmail inbox without landing in spam.

    2. I've never had a lawsuit case hit my email. I always find it in spam, even the FB one

    3. It probably wouldn't matter how many sign up the or it as far as Google is concerned. They pay what they pay. From there it won't matter where it goes

      Delete
    4. I mean they pay the same amount either way no matter how many people sign up. If not a lot of people sign up they just get bigger chunks of money. So I doubt it's intentional

  12. Check your spam on Gmail. That is where I got my notice.

  13. I haven't received anything at all and have been an android user since ~2013.

    The actual payout of these things isn't really worth it unless you are the lawyers.

    1. It's estimated to be anywhere from $20-100

    2. Then collect your settlement and give it away

    4. Check your spam folder, seems Gmail is marking them as spam. The subject is "Class Action Notice of Settlement – Taylor v. Google LLC, Case No. 5:20-CV-07956-VKD (N.D. Cal.)" and most people report they got sent out in early April.

  24. California residents are excluded. Nice

    Edit: Californians have their own lawsuit (Csupo v. Google) with a larger pot of money. Info can be found here CellularDataClassAction.com

    I'm seeing that the estimated payouts for the national lawsuit are around $3 and around $10-30 for the California lawsuit

    2. Utterly terrible website. Their idea of a chatbot is ridiculous. It's just questions and answers. You have to pick a question and then hopefully maybe you might be able to get an answer - but likely not.

      The notion that these clowns are taking on Google is laughable.

      I am certainly, at this point, no fan of Google - but the basic competency of this law firm seems highly in doubt, at least judging from their attempt to address this phase of the litigation.

  30. 135 million is a drop in the bucket for Google, are people genuinely surprised that they've been using our data for year now?

    1. Did anyone say they were surprised?

      Why do people always do this. "Post documenting bad behavior."

      "Why are people so surprised duh...."

      Literally no one said they were surprised. But you can feel real smart if you want.
