Reply to comment by pattydickens in Google to pay 40 states $392M in location-tracking settlement by AudibleNod

When you break state laws, yes, the state actually is the victim. Like speeding.

Edited to add: it's literally in the article, smoothbrains.

>The attorneys general said Google misled users about its location tracking practices since at least 2014, violating state consumer protection laws.

The people they illegally texted are NOT the victims.

So if someone is killed by someone speeding and they get sued the state should get the money?

No... Because someone was killed, they would then also be a victim. The state would still want their fine for speeding, though.
