Default Google pays “historic” privacy settlement

Misled its users saying they have turned location tracking off

Google has agreed to pay $391.5 million settlement to 40 US states over a location tracking dispute.

The case was based around Google tricking its users into believing that they have turned location tracking off. However, Google continued to collect the users' location information and make vast amounts of cash.

Google has also agreed to improve its location tracking disclosures and user controls significantly starting 2023.
