If you have any stored payment methods on Google Pay, I'd remove them. Whose to say they won't try to sneak some clause in their TOS that says if you use an ad blocker, they will charge you for Premium. removes tinfoil hat
That would be incredibly illegal and is pointless hyperbole.
Exactly, they might get fined $300,000 for making $2,000,000,000 in profit.
They wouldn't dare!

A 6 figure fine for a 12 figure profit sounds accurate to how this would play out.
not believable at all. this would get them banned from their payment processors instantly.
