Google Play Store fees lawsuit gets class-action status

Google now faces more than 21 million customers, instead of just a handful, in a lawsuit alleging its app store collects exorbitant fees.

A federal judge exponentially increased the Alphabet Inc. unit’s damages exposure by granting class-action status Monday in a suit alleging that Google Play has abused its power over the sale and distribution of Android mobile applications.

Your average user is not the type to **** about with their device in that way. It shouldn't get to a point where users have to do that ****, anyway.

15% if you're making under $1 mil a year from the store. 30% above that. Musk should ask Fornite how that fight with Apple went.

It's just one tick. Even a monkey can enable it.

My point still stands; user shouldn't;t have to do that. Doing that means they forfeit any security as well, the App Store offers.

Not at all. The device is just as secure.
