Nice of them to not disclose the settle amount. Probably something along the lines of 20k... I wish I could settle billion dollar lawsuits with a few thousand dollars.

So can I get a $3 check out of this?

After the lawyers get their cut, it's going to be a whopping $0.34 .

Google was founded to track people globally, I think people thought this was a joke people said for fun

Settle for 5 billion. When I settle it’s for instant noodles or something. But then, nooo, it’s 5 billions…

The lawsuit is 5 billion, whatever they settled for is going to be a lot less.
