Google is Searching for Justice in Monumental Monopoly Lawsuit



Google is in the hot seat as the U.S. Department of Justice challenges its market dominance in a high-stakes antitrust case. With 49 states backing the lawsuit, federal judges have twice ruled that Google holds a monopoly and allegedly used anti-competitive tactics to get there.


Proposals on the table range from forcing a sale of Chrome to requiring Google to fund a nationwide user choice campaign. Meanwhile, Google maintains it’s simply being penalized for success and calls the case a clear example of government overreach into the private sector.


WY it Matters: The outcome of this case will set a critical precedent for the business community. Wyoming is among the states backing the argument that a free enterprise system can't thrive when a giant like Google gains dominance through allegedly illegal means. But this issue isn’t one-sided—so we want to hear from you. Where do you stand in the Google vs. DOJ showdown?
