Warren on Court Ruling to Address Google’s Illegal Search Monopoly

Washington, D.C. — Following a new D.C. District Court ruling in the landmark antitrust case involving Google, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement:

“The court previously ruled that Google’s search business is an illegal monopoly, but now the judge’s remedies fail to hold Google accountable for breaking the law. Instead of restoring competition and ending Google’s dominance, this ruling is a slap on the wrist for unlawful behavior that warranted the breakup of this tech giant.

“Now it’s up to the Trump Justice Department and state attorneys general to appeal or risk emboldening even more lawbreaking by Big Tech monopolies.

“While the Trump Justice Department considers an appeal to break up Google, YouTube and Google executives are negotiating with Trump’s lawyers to settle a dubious case for potentially millions of dollars and raising serious concerns of corruption in plain sight.”
