According to three people familiar with the matter, the US Department of Justice is expected to sue Alphabet’s Google as soon as next week and is currently urging the state attorney general to sign a litigation agreement.
It is expected that during this lawsuit, the U.S. Department of Justice will accuse Google as the world’s major search engine builder and is depriving competitors such as Microsoft’s Bing of the advantages of users and user preference data they need to improve. And advertise to people.
The U.S. Department of Justice has also been investigating Google’s “search ads”. If a person is searching for consumer goods like “dishwashers,” ads will appear below the search box. Google controls the sales space under the search engine and the tools to sell these ads.
Google has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. The Justice Department declined to comment.
In terms of search, Google said that users can access other information sources, such as getting news via Twitter and products via Amazon. In terms of advertising, Google said it is competing with many companies including Oracle and Verizon.
The source said that the US state attorney general is considering whether to sign a federal litigation agreement, many of whom are already investigating Google’s other businesses.
The US Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission said last year that they had launched antitrust investigations into Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple, and some Democrats praised this approach.
In addition, US President Trump said that social media companies including Google’s YouTube have suppressed conservative voices.
