(Bob Hague, WRN) Wisconsin is part of multi-state Google settlement.

Google has agreed to a $391.5 million settlement with 40 states – including Wisconsin - in connection with an investigation into how the company tracked users' locations. State attorneys general announced the settlement on Monday, calling it the largest multistate privacy settlement in U.S history.

Attorney General Josh Kaul said Wisconsin’s share will total more than $8,421,000. The attorneys general opened the Google investigation following a 2018 Associated Press article that revealed Google "records your movements even when you explicitly tell it not to."
