Google has said it will pay $11m to resolve a lawsuit brought by AdSense publishers, who sought compensation after their accounts were disabled. The settlement is the latest in a series of legal actions against Google, which have been launched since last year over its alleged use of DoubleClick advertising technology on websites such as Gmail and YouTube. While Google accepts no wrongdoing, it has agreed to settle rather than continue with the “burdensome and expensive” litigation process.
