Justice Department and 11 States Sue Google in Biggest Antitrust Lawsuit in Decades
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, the Department of Justice has sued the
internet giant Google, in a massive antitrust lawsuit that will have
major implications for the rest of Big Tech - and could lead to the
company's breakup. The DOJ complaint was joined by attorneys general in
11 states. It reads, in part, "Google has used anticompetitive tactics
to maintain and extend its monopolies in the markets for general search
services, search advertising, and general search text advertising - the
cornerstones of its empire." We'll have more on the Google antitrust
lawsuit after headlines.
