Google Being Probed By US Justice Dept. For Possible Anti-Trust Action [deadline.com]
Okay, this is going to be an interesting one --> FTC and DOJ had to figure out who was going handle further antitrust action on Google, per WSJ. Justice Department gets the nod, and now it's "preparing to closely examine Google’s business practices."

Google facing antitrust probe in the US. This is far too late from US regulators, and they need to now look closely at Google’s web empire and how the company consistently leverages this to thwart browser and OS competition. https://t.co/Fvhy6eGOVn

Generally when you sort out who's going to take action, that means someone is going to take action.... Source tells me this all happened pretty recently so we're likely at the way beginning here.

Makan Delrahim, as all you kids at home know, worked on Google's behalf in the Doubleclick acquisition.
Stiff DOJ scrutiny is overdue. Google mines & monetizes data from each facet of our lives. Its apparent predatory practices—exploiting its behemoth power—stifle innovators & crush competitors, harming consumers. Backbone is needed to provide greater consumer choice. https://t.co/KLTd7au5g6

There may still be a place for true bipartisanship in the US. I mean Barr's @TheJusticeDept on the same page with @ewarren on an issue this important?
So Dems and GOP can agree on something - as when big tech gets too big for its own good
