Judge: But if you’re getting the same deal deal as spotify it’s fair…
The judge sounds like an idiot. Just because someone agreed to a deal doesn’t mean it’s a fair deal. Millions of developers have agreed to Google’s terms… and millions more have not agreed to them (I’m a developer, none of my apps are on the Play store for example, in part because I don’t like the terms).
I agree it’s a bizarre take—they’re a judge, not a settlement lawyer! You’d think a judge’s training would be to consider the general implications of the problem being brought to them given that that’s kinda their job.
