Google recently released details of a $700 million settlement agreement that it reached with multiple state attorneys general earlier this year over alleged antitrust violations concerning its U.S. Play app store.
Of the $700 million total, the company has agreed to pay $630 million into a settlement fund for consumers — an amount equal to at least $2 per eligible consumer, who may get more based on their spending in the app store from August 16, 2016 to September 30, 2023, according to the agreement.
