yesterdayAttorney General William Tong announced a major development on a nationwide big tech lawsuit on Tuesday.
He says Google has agreed to pay $700 million to states and consumers to settle an anti-trust litigation.
"2024 is going to be the year of big tech for attorney generals. We're going to see a lot of action in the space. New investigation, new cases and we hope either trials or big resolutions to protect you here in Connecticut," said Attorney General William Tong.

Another $70 million will go to the states involved in the lawsuit.
