Google has agreed to a $135 million class-action settlement over allegations it transferred Android users' data without their consent.
Up to 100 million US Android users who accessed the internet via cellular data between November 2017 and now may be eligible for payments up to $100.
The settlement follows accusations that Google collected data even when devices were idle; final approval is expected after a June 23 court hearing.
