nocturne213 ( @nocturne213@lemm.ee ) English3•6 months agoApple has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit over Family Sharing, and will pay out $25 million to put an end to the case. First filed in 2019, the lawsuit accused Apple of misrepresenting the way that subscriptions to third-party apps worked with the Family Sharing feature.
While Family Sharing allows participants to share subscriptions with one another, app developers can opt out of allowing a single subscription to be shared among multiple people. Not all subscriptions can be shared because of the opt out policy, which is what led to the lawsuit.
averyminya ( @averyminya@beehaw.org ) English1•6 months agoHm, would Google be in a similar position with their family sharing system? From my understanding there is a similar thing in place, but I’m not sure if it includes subscriptions or not.
