A federal appeals court has upheld Google LLC's $62 million privacy class action settlement. The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected arguments from class members who sought a share of the funds, noting that distributing the money to the millions of affected users would result in negligible payouts. Consequently, the court affirmed the trial court's decision to allocate the settlement money to a group of nonprofits.
