I wonder why these companies wouldn’t want to go to discovery and further with such cases. Surely to have a clear, clean name they’d take these to the end showing they were not liable. It’s a read between the lines scenario, they’re afraid of discovery for some reason so don’t want it to happen.

Google did not admit wrongdoing in the settlement of the class-action case
A settlement is an admission no matter what Google says. Headline should read, “Google Admits To Using Its Consumer Hardware To Spy On Users.”

I mean it’s an “admission” that it would cost more money to fight in court than it would to make it go away. Or that they would likely lose, regardless of whether they’re guilty of anything. Other than that, no.
