38 states file antitrust charges against Google
38 US states and territories filed antitrust charges against Google yesterday, alleging that Google engaged in anticompetitive behavior to maintain a monopoly in its search business. The lawsuit marks the third antitrust case brought against Google in the last two months, including a display ad-related lawsuit brought by Texas and nine other states on Wednesday. Google issued a statement on the most recent lawsuit yesterday, defending its search practices and suggesting that the proposed changes would “deprive Americans of helpful information.”
