Action is coming this summer.
Justice Department, state investigations into Google ‘likely’ becoming antitrust lawsuits
According to the Wall Street Journal this afternoon, “the “Justice Department and a group of state attorneys general are likely to file antitrust lawsuits against Alphabet Inc.’s Google.” Over the past few months, both groups have requested and received various documents from the company.
The DOJ could file “as soon as this summer,” with Google’s dominant position in advertising described as “one of its points of emphasis.” However, it could also more generally focus on Search.
The investigation led by states is also focused on online advertising, with a case likely coming in the fall. Separate complaints from different groups of states are also possible. However, it’s not yet clear whether the group will file their own lawsuits or join the federal government’s.
