(Indianapolis, IN) - The Indiana Attorney General’s Office has announced a sizeable settlement against Google.

 

Two years ago Indiana joined every other state in going after Google for monopolizing Android phone app distribution and payment processing.

 

Google came to terms on a settlement in the fall, and final details emerged last week.

 

Google will pay a total of $630 million in restitution, plus $70 million in penalties paid to the states. The company is also required to loosen its grip on Android apps.

 

If you are eligible for restitution, you do not have to submit a claim. You will receive automatic payments through PayPal or Venmo, or you can elect to receive a check or money transfer. Details on that process will be forthcoming.
