They only settled because it was in their best interest to have a unified attack against stepmom for Daddy's money.

Oh wait, wrong case.

I do not remember, but what did MS get on the Tabacco Lawsuit. This says it was the largest in MS history, just curious??

another "legal" shakedown. taxpayers won't see a dime

Attorneys create nothing. They wait for the doers "to do", then look at every angle they can of the "done", in a naked attempt to steal from the success. Over 90% of the world's lawyers are Americans.

So, when do the consumers that were damaged get their share of the $6 Mil?
Where do I sign up for my $2?

It’s not Lynn’s work!

You have to read all the words: this release says it is the largest "privacy settlement" in U.S. history. That means lit more than it is the largest one so far dealing with privacy issues and Google. The tobacco settlement was for BILLIONS, not millions, so this one pales in comparison to the tobacco settlemnt.

House republicans will spend it as soon as it hits the general fund. Right Speakah Gunnnn?

According to a July 4, 1997, article in Washington Post, MS received nearly $3.4 billion in the tobacco settlement.

As I type this there are lots of capitol piggies (pols) fixin' to belly up to that settlement trough. Sooeee.

Wait, $6 million might just cover a MHP law suit.

Friends don't let friends use Google; they use duckduckgo.

The righteous honorable mayor Prince Chowke will be insisting on his inclusive cut in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

4:47 I thought the same thing. I thought, "so let me get this straight: the AG, who is paid with taxpayer money, teams up with other AGs (who are also paid by the taxpayers), and sue a private company. The award is, effectively, a "fine" to Google, but the states keep the money whose money is really the parties on whose behalf they sued Google in the first place."

Got it.

What is notable is that this started under Hood’s administration. Not Lynn’s.

so every mississippian will get like $4?

By the way, fellow peons, what became of that $3.4 billion other than a few school posters encouraging no-smoking?

When the hell will this state use its windfall and flush-coffer money to totally revamp our prison system - Including building two sensibly located prisons (not in some boondock, isolated area) where there are available labor force candidates and city accommodations that will attract professionals and others.

It's long since been time to bulldoze Parchman and turn the place back into a cotton or bean field. Every soul working at Parchman has two or more relatives locked up there.

Great, I’m sure this will be “invested“ wisely and move this state forward. LOLOL

The equivalent of giving a kid a dollar to go away and shut up. This is chump change and means nothing to google and provides nothing to the citizens who were the actual defendants. The only winner here is legal community who gets paid.

How much for the attorneys?

So let me get this straight. Google tracks me, the state sues Google on my behalf, Google settles, and the state keeps the money. Not that $6mil split between the masses would amount to much, but still seems kind of BS.

King Chowke will be demanding his fair, diverse, radical, and equitable share as soon as he returns from (Miami, Atlanta, Banff, Bloomberg's home).

5:40 am, where would you suggest the state build these two prisons? Do you think they should be built in some area where the area around it would have to go into lock down every time a prisoner escapes? Why would a prison attract the professionals and others.

Money talks. It just does not necessarily tell the truth.

This is wonderful news. Why all the snark?

The attorney general's office has become a state-sponsored plaintiff's firm.

once again the Lawyers win, we the people they "protect' get nothing. Imagine if a doctor saved your life and got 40 percent of your wealth. There needs to be an end to direct consumer marketing of trial lawyers. If you have parasites, they will drain you of your health until you die. All lawyers are parasitic by nature and need to be regulated as not to fleece the public. Ban lawyer ads, tell One call that's all and for the people to piss off.

to 4;42...........considering the united states has the worlds largest economy you little 90 percent rule looks pretty lame.
