The bulk of the settlement money will go toward a general fund in the state, it said.The outcome of the case “proves no entity, not even big tech companies, is above the law,” Arizona Attorney GeneralMark Brnovichsaid in a prepared statement.Google denied any wrongdoing. A company spokesman said the case is based on outdated product policies that were changed years ago.“We provide straightforward controls and auto delete options for location data, and are always working to minimize the data we collect,” he said.Lawsuits similar to Arizona’s have also been brought against Google by Indiana, Texas and Washington state courts,as well as Washington, D.C. The suits stem from a 2018 Associated Press article that reported Google’s practices were inconsistent with its statements to users.Lawmakers and regulators have been weighing proposalsto impose broad privacy protections onlinefollowing years of complaints from advocacy groups, who say the current legal protections for consumers aren’t sufficient.Google’s settlement with Arizona comes after the companysuffered other legal blowslast month.The European Union’s General Court in Luxembourg largely upheld a 2018 decision by the EU competition regulator thatfined Google $4.33 billionfor allegedly abusing the market dominance of its Android operating system for mobile phones to promote and entrench its Google search engine and Chrome browser on mobile devices.Separately, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York denied the bulk of Google’s motion to dismiss the claims brought by a coalition of states led by Texas alleging Google abused its dominance in digital advertising tools, allowing the case to proceed to the discovery stage and ultimately toward trial.In July, Google parent Alphabet reportedits slowest quarterly sales growth in two years, as macroeconomic pressures weigh on the market for digital ads.Alphabet shares were up more than 3% on Tuesday. The shares have slipped around 30% so far this year, in line with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9915969881,"gmtCreate":1664936661843,"gmtModify":1676537532532,"author":{"id":"3573989963279471","authorId":"3573989963279471","name":"vaicrazy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5e1fe01bd5dda3f3a00e7197697a8873","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3573989963279471","authorIdStr":"3573989963279471"},"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9915969881","repostId":1158492126,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9915980160,"gmtCreate":1664935808251,"gmtModify":1676537532190,"author":{"id":"4124316318307352","authorId":"4124316318307352","name":"gcle","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/938cab1cf65ae5117704b044aff54ba4","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4124316318307352","authorIdStr":"4124316318307352"},"htmlText":"Lesson
