Free money coming from $1.1 million settlement
OnePlus, a smartphone company headquartered in China, is accused of secretly throttling access to the customer’s smartphone’s full processing power.
Throttling is when a company slows down a device’s performance intentionally.
Additionally, it’s being accused of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, although the company denies all wrongdoing.
Despite denying all allegations, OnePlus agreed to settle to a nationwide $1.1 million settlement.
All claim forms must have been submitted by November 8, 2023.
