The plaintiffs filed the class action lawsuit in state court in 2019 on behalf of an estimated 14 million Californians.

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.

Now, a jury has decided on the outcome of this lawsuit, saying that Google has to pay $314 million to the users, per The Guardian . "A jury in San Jose, California, said on Tuesday that Google misused customers’ cellphone data and must pay more than $314.6m to Android smartphone users in the state, according to an attorney for the plaintiffs."
