FTA: The ACCC’s best estimate, based on available data, is that the users of 1.3 million Google accounts in Australia may have viewed a screen found by the Court to have breached the Australian Consumer Law.
- andyferris 4y agoHmm so roughly 27 USD per user over the 2 year period in question, or US$13.50 per annum per user. Roughly how much revenue (and profit) does Google make per Android user per year through targetted ads, etc (over and above e.g. an iPhone user)?
- ErikCorry 4y agoGoogle makes less profit from an Android user than an iPhone user. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2012/mar/29/google-earns-more-iphone-android https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2012/mar/29/google-ea...
- ErikCorry 4y agoLol the truth hurts!
- ClassyJacket 4y agoThis occurred in Australia, Australia uses Australian Dollars. Thus they are not being fined USD, they are being fined AUD. USD does not have anything to do with this discussion whatsoever.
- swores 4y ago60M / 1.3M = au$46.15 = us$32.85 Splitting hairs but by the time I noticed you'd done a currency conversion (which had made me think your number was way off) I figured might as well be accurate. Edit: while being pedantic, I'll also point out that halving for a "per annum" amount doesn't really make sense considering the estimate of 1.3M users is ones who "may have viewed a screen found by the Court to have breached the Australian Consumer Law" during the two years, not who were exposed to two years worth of anything.
- kurupt213 4y agoFacebook was making $50 per user before apple crippled them, so I would assume Google makes at least that much
