It is mentioned in the article, but Google lost an appeal in the EU recently, related to ranking of its price search engine. But one wonders whether that's really such a big deal for Google.
An interesting detail instead arises from the other cases. The one case Google apparently WANTS to settle out of court is the case on the use of data!
Now, this should tell the careful reader quite a bit about what Google thinks is really important here.

Generally, companies want to settle out of court in order to bring a case to a defined conclusion and limit future liabilities. Along that vein, it's not an accident that this case is now news after the judgement in the EU.
- zwaps 5y agoI should have been more clear. Google is settling this case because it matters, and because it does not want to have a public court judgment on the matter of data usage.
