This is ridiculous. So two lawyers are getting paid 2.125 million dollars (25% of the $8.5M settlement) for suing Google on my behalf over something I don't mind? I never signed up to make a couple of guys millionaires from a complaint about a free service.<p>Is there a way to protest this kind of absurd class action suit and reduce the payout?
here is what I sent Google in response:<p>I love Gmail. I've loved it since the beginning when I got an invite
code from [redacted] and I think it has just gotten better
and better over the years. But, I am disappointed that you didn't
commit to being more careful with how you handle privacy leaks with
new products. Either make a commitment that you won't intentionally
do something like this again, or admit that your plan is to "educate"
people about auto-added privacy-violating products that ride on
Gmail's coattails. If you plan on going the latter route, please let
me know so I can switch to a different email provider now.
