              Anonymous, 20 Mar 2019That's why Google and Android are free. There's NO such thing as free in business world. That's why you should be extra careful if something is offered 'free'. You could sell your soul without even knowing it.

                    1.29% of revenue .... hahahaaaaa.
                    Google paid more than that each year settling sexual misconducts perpetrated by their executives.

                    The fine is so small, it's not even worth appealing. The cost of doing business.

                      Well deserved fine, they need to start paying their taxes btw.
                      I am not interested in the fines they are getting actually, but how much they have really paid so far.
                      I guess 0.

                          Money are biggest sin ever created by humanity.
                          I love Nikolai Tesla vision to give free electricity to any household.
                          Same should goes for internet and anything else.
                          Like a startrek movie. No money at all. Every person was working for the prosperity of the whole comunity.
