I loved how it says - class lawyers would get attorneys' fees of up to 25 percent of the $85 million and up to $200,000 for reimbursement of expenses. About a dozen named plaintiffs are seeking approval of payments of $5,000 each.
And other users can claim upto $25/15.

Classic US.

They users are getting upto 15% of what they spent which is acceptable if you ask me.

The more important thing about these lawsuits is that it makes the companies think twice before trying this crap again.

I agree that in most cases the companies pay peanuts but at least they have a consumer protection mechanism there unlike us.

Pennies for data worth billions

Exactly. They made 672 million in profits this year. If the courts were serious about making an example out of them, they should have given a much higher penalty.
