Google has lost a recent case regarding data transfer on idle phones, with the company being fined $314.6 million by the courts.

A jury in San Jose, California, said on Tuesday that Google misused customers' cell phone data and must pay more than $314.6 million to Android smartphone users in the state, according to an attorney for the plaintiffs.

Google has been ordered by a court in the U.S. state of California to pay $314 million over charges that it misused Android device users' cellular data when they were idle to passively send information to the company. The verdict marks an end to a legal class-action complaint that was originally filed in August 2019.
