I'm going to share with you this week's Saturday steals. It's just some of my favorite finds that will make life a little smarter, easier, and tech ahead, all at a great price. If you used an Android device on any mobile carrier back to November of 2017, Google owes you money. Here's why and exactly how much. Six years ago, a group of angry Google customers filed a David and Goliath lawsuit.
Their claim? Google was quietly using customers' paid mobile data to send information back to Google. effectively stealing data you paid for. And they did it while your phone sat idle, so you never noticed. Naturally, Google denied everything, admitted nothing, and then quietly agreed to pay those customers a total of $135 million. You won't get rich. Most victims will see around $100. But hey, that's $100 Google hoped you'd never know they took. File your claim at federalcellularclassaction.com.
