Google Pays Indiana $20 Million To Settle Privacy Lawsuit

Lawsuit filed over allegedly deceptive location tracking practices

  • State Attorney General Todd Rokita announced that Indiana will receive a $20 million payment from Google to resolve the state’s privacy lawsuit against the tech giant.
  • States started investigating following a 2018 Associated Press story that uncovered that Google kept tracking people’s location data – even after users opted out of such tracking by disabling the “location history” feature.
  • “This settlement is another manifestation of our steadfast commitment to protect Hoosiers from Big Tech’s intrusive schemes,” said Rokita.
