It is a subject known to many, especially those who are parents. The app and video game stores are very simple for a child and that makes the smallest of the house buy and spend money from our account on apps that we do not want. Apple and Google have already had lawsuits for this and the American courts forced them to put more restrictive measures as well as to return the money.
In this case the judge has forced Amazon to return money from apps that have been purchased by children without the consent of your parents, but unlike other lawsuits, Amazon will not be obliged to pay the compensation that was required for damages.
The sentence is as little atypical since the compensation that it was asked for more than 26 million dollars well below those requested from Apple and Google, but the judge has considered that it was not justified, as well as it has demanded from Amazon that the money from the apps be reimbursed in money, no gift or credit cards in Amazon, something that on the other hand is logical.
The judge has imposed a change in the purchase so as not to have to return the money for the apps in the future
But all this also affects others, in this case in a positive way. The judge has also imposed on Amazon a change in its purchase process, in such a way that it will have to be more difficult so that children cannot buy without the permission of their parents. This means that the Amazon store will change drastically and even more so on its tablets.
Personally, it seems like a great measure, a measure with common sense. Since this measure solves the problem and does not generate or enrich other people, thus neither Amazon will keep the money through credit cards nor will users enrich themselves with millionaire compensation. But What do you think?
