Google to pay $100 million to settle 14-year-old advertising lawsuit


Google is still facing other legal battles.

Google will pay $100 million to settle a class action lawsuit accusing the company of charging for clicks on ads placed outside the geographic locations selected by advertisers, as reported earlier by Reuters. “This case was about ad product features we changed over a decade ago and we’re pleased it’s resolved,” Google spokesperson José Castañeda said in an emailed statement to The Verge. The settlement comes after “extensive” fact discovery, which counsel for the plaintiffs say involved reviewing more than 910,000 pages of documents and “multiple terabytes” of click data from Google.
