After years of impunity & months of investigations, DoJ & state attorneys general are finally bringing #antitrust lawsuits against Google mispractices. Still a long way ahead to battle against the army of lawyers

DOJ going after @google for anti-trust. It's about time. We have several social media platforms that need the DOJ's attention as well.

*DOJ IS FOCUSED ON GOOGLE'S ADVERTISING BUSINESS AND HOW IT HAS USED ITS DOMINANCE IN SEARCH
Justice Department and states are likely to sue Google over its ad business and how it has abused its search dominance. Likely would be one of the biggest antitrust matters since the Microsoft antitrust case two decades ago. https://t.co/aYI2KWD8oh

If Google loses this, a whole different world of search & SEO awaits us. IFFF. Google has made a joke out of security, apart from monopolizing search.
