Reply to comment by BytecodeBollhav in Google has to pay $9.4 million because it paid people to say they liked the Pixel 4 by RunOrDieTrying

Ahh I see, thanks for explanation

But still not sure why it’s illegal? Those parties have free speech, no obligation not to lie. Google can pay to advertise what they want, no? Curious which law it violated

False advertisement. I'm not American so I'm not sure exactly how the laws on false advertisement look, but if you read the article, this is the cited violation.
