Buffalo_Gal Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Google emerges as target of a new state attorneys general antitrust probe More than half of state attorneys general are preparing to announce an investigation into Google next week. More than half of the nation’s state attorneys general are readying an investigation into Google for potential antitrust violations, scheduled to be announced next week, marking a major escalation in U.S. regulators’ efforts to probe Silicon Valley’s largest companies. A smaller group of these state officials, representing the broader coalition, is expected to unveil the investigation at a Monday news conference in Washington, according to three people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss a law enforcement proceeding on the record, cautioning the plans could change. </snip> 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote "And I want to make sure that the next generation of great American tech companies can flourish. To do that, we need to stop this generation of big tech companies from throwing around their political power to shape the rules in their favor and throwing around their economic power to snuff out or buy up every potential competitor." Replace "big/great tech companies" with "big government," and it suddenly becomes OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 States' massive Google antitrust probe will expand into search and Android businesses • The 50 attorneys general investigating Google are preparing to expand their antitrust investigation into the company’s search and Android businesses, people familiar with the matter tell CNBC. • So far, the investigation, which is being led by Texas’ attorney general, has only explicitly focused on Google’s advertising business. • The development comes as politicians on both sides of the aisle, including President Donald Trump and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, increasingly tee off on Silicon Valley. </snip> 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
