Attorney General Josh Stein Releases Statement on Google
Multistate Investigation and Federal Antitrust Filing
(RALEIGH) Attorney General Josh Stein, along with the Attorneys
General of Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Tennessee, New York, and Utah,
released the following statement regarding today's antitrust filing
by the U.S. Department of Justice and the multistate investigation
into Google.
"Over the last year, both the US DOJ and state attorneys general
have conducted separate but parallel investigations into Google's
anticompetitive market behavior. We appreciate the strong
bipartisan cooperation among the states and the good working
relationship with the DOJ on these serious issues. This is a
historic time for both federal and state antitrust authorities, as
we work to protect competition and innovation in our technology
markets. We plan to conclude parts of our investigation of Google
in the coming weeks. If we decide to file a complaint, we would
file a motion to consolidate our case with the DOJ's. We would then
litigate the consolidated case cooperatively, much as we did in the
Microsoft case."
