   In what is considered the largest privacy-related settlement in   
   history, Google will pay $391.5 million to 40 states to settle an   
   investigation by 40 state attorneys general.  The bipartisan coalition   
   of attorneys general alleged that Google misled users into believing   
   that opting out of sharing their location data prevented the company   
   from tracking users' locations.  But even when users opted out of   
   location tracking, researchers confirmed that Google nonetheless   
   tracked user location data across a number of its services, including   
   its search tool, maps, and applications.  The practices, which   
   occurred between 2014 and 2020, violated consumer protection statutes   
   that prohibit misleading and deceiving consumers, the attorneys   
   general said. Among the consumer protection statutes that were   
   violated according to the investigation were New York General Business   
   Law Sections 349 and 350 and Massachusetts General Law Chapter 93A.
