Google dodges $2.36 billion disgorgement bid in privacy class action, but $425 million verdict stands

Google dodges $2.36 billion disgorgement bid in privacy class action, but $425 million verdict stands

A U.S. federal judge in San Francisco dismissed an attempt to impose over $2 billion in extra penalties on Alphabet’s Google in a privacy class action. The court refused to order Google to hand over $2.36 billion in alleged profits or halt certain data practices. At the same time, the judge rejected Google’s request to decertify the class, keeping the September jury verdict intact. The ruling is crucial because it caps the potential payout for users following a trial focused on a privacy “off” switch. Seeborg called the post-verdict motions from both sides efforts to “augment and upset the verdict in various ways.”

  • Lynas Rare Earths (ASX:LYC) draws focus as NdPr demand and US push add to bull case
    July 4, 2026, 6:16 PM EDT. Lynas Rare Earths (ASX:LYC) is back in the spotlight with stronger demand for neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr), key materials for EVs and wind power. The miner is building a US processing plant with backing from the US Department of Defense, an attempt to shift supply chains away from China. Lynas forecasts A$2.4 billion in revenue and A$1 billion in earnings by 2029, a jump from today's levels. The new US plant and a 2025 MoU with Noveon Magnetics aim to boost the company's links to defense and critical infrastructure. Execution and global supply risks remain, which could pressure prices and margins. Market views are split; some analysts are upbeat about growth driven by US support, while others flag ongoing cost and competitive risks.
