The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has been on a crusade as of late to save the world from in-app purchases, and that's probably an okay crusade on which to be. The news has come down today that Google will be settling an FTC lawsuit by refunding about $19 million in unauthorized in-app purchases make by kids whose parents foolishly allowed them to go tapping around on their Android devices.
The FTC says Google's Play Store/Android Market system has violated federal prohibitions on unfair commercial practices since 2011, which is when in-app purchases were added to Android.
