Analysts are now thinking in EBITDAS: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, and Slaps on the Wrist.

How much does this particular slap reduce earnings really? Alphabet shows $41 billion before tax, so 0.7%? Assuming they do pay that amount. I'm not well-versed in financial matters so please check my numbers.

Don't fines generally escalate for repeat offenders?

Yes hence the joke about why it would be worthwhile to lock in this rate.

Title: Google hit with $314 million US verdict in cellular data class action, which fits, why the edit - you might has well have mentioned it's jury decision in California only, like past submissions?

What was the data actually sent out? It was vague enough to sound like it could be tracking data (eg. Location) or it could be something like automatic updates.

It’s practically everything, IMHO. Last time I set up an Android device, I had to agree to at least 9 different Terms of Service before being allowed to use the phone.

The damages the plaintiffs claimed were cellular data usage.

Tired of this copy-paste comment. It shows up on literally every lawsuit thread.

Tired of comment, not the corporate malfeasance. That is you problem.
