Google to pay Indiana $20 million to resolve privacy lawsuit: Attorney Gen

Google will pay Indiana USD 20 million to resolve the state's lawsuit against the technology giant over allegedly deceptive location tracking practices, state Attorney General Todd Rokita announced. Rokitas filed a separate lawsuit against Google when negotiations between the company and a coalition of state attorneys general stalled, he said. Those states agreed to a USD 391.5 million settlement with the company in November. As a result of the separate lawsuit, Indiana received about twice as much money as it would have under the deal with the 40 states in the coalition, Rokita said in his announcement Thursday. This settlement is another manifestation of our steadfast commitment to protect Hoosiers from Big Tech's intrusive schemes, Rokita said. States began investigating after a 2018 Associated Press story that found that Google continued to track people's location data even after they opted out of such tracking by disabling a feature the company called location history.

Google has filed appeals before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) against the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) two orders in October.
