Technology giant Google agreed to pay $93 million as part of a settlement with the state of California regarding its location data privacy practices.
The agreement, announced by California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Thursday, comes nearly a year since Google consented to pay a record $391.5 million in a settlement reached with a coalition of 40 state attorneys general—excluding California—regarding a setting that tracked location data without users’ knowledge.
