It's wild that a 2 million dollar payment makes such an obscene violation like this disappear.

Are you referring to some lobbyist payment or some fine that they had to pay as a result of a legal judgment related to this?

I don't think it's necessarily a fine? Google picked the number based on assumed monetary damages. https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/07/business/google-doj-antitrust...

Why do you think that lawsuit has anything to do with the text you quoted? They seem totally unrelated.
