Attorney General Rosenblum and a bipartisan group of 52 other attorneys general announced a $700 million agreement with Google in their lawsuit about Google’s anticompetitive conduct with the Google Play Store
Eugene, OR – According to the statement, Google will reportedly pay $630 million in restitution, minus costs, and fees, to consumers who made purchases on the Google Play Store between August 2016 and September 2023 and were harmed by Google’s anticompetitive practices.
Google will pay the states an additional $70 million for their sovereign claims.
People eligible for restitution do not have to submit a claim – they will receive automatic payments through PayPal or Venmo, or they can elect to receive a check or ACH transfer.
The agreement also requires Google to make their business practices more procompetitive in a number of important ways.
The attorneys general sued Google in 2021 alleging that Google unlawfully monopolized the market Android app distribution and in-app payment processing.
