(Nebraska) -- Nebraska is joining 39 other states in a $391.5 million dollar settlement against Google for its privacy practices.
The 40 states attorneys general opened the investigation into Google in 2018, arguing that Google records users movements despite users telling it not to do so, violating state consumer protection laws. The settlement requires that Google be more transparent with uses about its tracking practices.
The other states included in the settlement are Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
