Google's antitrust battles: What you need to know

The search giant is headed for a historic showdown with the Department of Justice. The DOJ is just one of many threats.

 

Excerpt:

 

Google is being investigated at the state level, too?

 

Last September, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced an antitrust probe into Google's massive digital advertising business. The investigation has the participation of AGs from 48 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. As part of the probe, Paxton's office sent Google a civil investigative demand that asked for key information about its ad operation and data collection policies. The coalition of AGs is reportedly looking into Google's Android business, too.

 

The states are expected to file charges against Google, but it's unclear if they will join the DOJ's complaint or file one separately.
