Several states join Texas in Google antitrust suit
- Several states are joining an antitrust lawsuit against Google (GOOG
+1.3%, GOOGL+1.4%) that's led by Texas.
- Alaska, Florida, Montana, Nevada, and Puerto Rico have joined in the
multistate suit, which charges the search giant with anticompetitive
behavior to boost an already dominant online ad business.
- "Our coalition looks forward to holding Google accountable for its
illegal conduct and reforming Google's practices in the future," says
Texas
Attorney General Ken Paxton. "And we are confident Google will be forced
to
pay for its misconduct through significant financial penalties."
- Google has pressed for the case to be moved from Texas federal court
to California, where it's fighting similar cases; that question will come
up on Thursday.
