Google will pay $100 million to settle a class action lawsuit accusing the company of charging for clicks on ads placed outside the geographic locations selected by advertisers, as reported earlier by Reuters. The proposed settlement was filed in a California court on Thursday and still requires approval by a judge.The lawsuit, first filed in 2011, centers around Google Adwords now called Google Ads and claimed Google broke Californias Unfair Competition law by misleading advertisers about the locations it would show their ads. It also alleged Google didnt follow through on its promise to provide Smart Pricing discounts.This case was about ad product features we changed over a decade ago and were pleased its resolved, Google spokesperson Jos Castaeda said in an emailed statement to The Verge.Google has even bigger legal challenges with a federal antitrust lawsuit that could force it to sell Chrome. It also faced trial over the DOJs other lawsuit that accused it of creating a monopoly in the advertising technology industry.The settlement comes after extensive fact discovery, which counsel for the plaintiffs say involved reviewing more than 910,000 pages of documents and multiple terabytes of click data from Google. The class includes advertisers who used Googles AdWords program between June 1, 2009 and December 13, 2012.
