    Millions of Americans are about to receive cash from Google

    Google has agreed for a $700 million settlement with millions of Americans in an antitrust suit, linked to the charges on the app store.

    Alphabet Inc-owned Google, in a recent antitrust lawsuit, agreed to pay compensation to millions of American users and to allow space for greater competition in its Google Play app store.

    According to the terms of an antitrust settlement with US states and consumers, Google will be paying a sum of $630 million to millions of people spread across US states, while $70 million will be transferred to a fund.

    Over 100 million consumers across America are eligible to receive compensation from Google. These users are spread across all 50 states of the US, as well as DC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, reported the Washington Post.

    The settlement in the antitrust suit was reached in September but is only being reported now. However, the settlement still requires a final approval from a judge.

    According to the terms of the lawsuit, over 70 million of the total consumers won't even have to fill out any paperwork to receive their compensation share from Google, which will be paid automatically to them.
