What's This Settlement About?
Google, Inc. (Parent company Alphabet, Inc.) has agreed to pay $7 Million to resolve a class action lawsuit against Google AdWords. Google AdWords advertisers may be entitled to receive refunds or credits associated with clicks or impressions for ads they paid for that appeared on DoubleClick Ad Exchange.The class action alleges that Google did not refund advertisers money paid for clicks and impressions that were deemed "Invalid Activity" by Google. Since the publishers were deemed as illegitimate for certain clicks and impressions, the class action lawsuit argues, the advertisers who paid Google for those clicks and impressions should have been refunded money for those ads.
Google settled the class action lawsuit but denies any wrongdoing and asserts that it did nothing unlawful. Google stated that its advertising customers have all received the appropriate refunds to which they are entitled.
