California - A group of parents ready to sue Google. They feel the king of the internet does not do a good protection making it easier for children to use their parents money.
The claims were made by Berger & Montague law firm. This stems from a 5-year-old boy who a day spent USD 66 for in-app purchase in the game Marvel Run Jump Smash!
Google, through the Play Store, it provides millions of applications and games that can be downloaded for free or low-priced. But many of them also offer paid content in the application, this is considered to be 'trapped' children.
Parents highlighted the Google system is considered easier for children to carry out transactions in the application. Therefore, the process of purchasing the content in the game does not require special authentication such as purchase applications.
"It allows the kids to purchase content without permission from the parents and without having to enter a password. Then the billing directly charged to the parent" writes Berger & Montague agency demands.
Similar demands actually also been made to Apple who then make them change in app purchase system. Well, now Google's turn to hit contested. As quoted from The Next Web, Thursday (03/13/2014).
