Lol. You have no idea how Google functions. They can not make this decision in days. The shutdown was planned at least 6 months ago (I have no internal knowledge now but very likely).

While this could be merely a coincidence, given that the US app offers “deals” to consumers — which are, I can safely assume, paid for by selling the user’s data to a third party — I imagine that the Friday court decision led Google to terminate offers immediately so that they cannot be not found in violation of CPRA, and then shutdown the app as without offers it’s redundant.
