Minnesota to receive a slice of $391.5M multistate settlement with Google

Minnesota will receive $8.25 million in a multistate settlement with Google over the tech firm's location tracking practices.

The payout is a portion of the $391.5 million settlement announced Monday by attorneys general from 40 states.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison joined the joint action after a 2018 Associated Press investigation found the search engine was tracking users even if they had specifically requested Google not to collect that information.
