- The U.S. Justice Department is preparing an investigation of Alphabet Inc’s Google to determine whether the technology company violated laws to ensure fair competition, two sources familiar with the matter said.
The following explains the antitrust concerns about Google from other companies, critics in Washington and the EU, and how a Justice Department probe could impact the sprawling U.S. company.Google’s dominance of the search engine market has transformed it from a start-up into one the world’s most valuable companies.
Google has said it is transparent about how it promotes its own services, and that its focus has been on benefiting consumers. In a 2017 deal with the EU, Google agreed to pay $2.7 billion to resolve claims it unfairly steered business toward its shopping platform. In March it was fined $1.7 billion in a case focused on illegal practices in search advertising brokering from 2006 to 2016.Yes, in theory, but experts have said such action against a technology firm is unlikely.
Justice Department antitrust probes more often result in an agreement to change certain business practices.Google and Facebook Inc collect personal data on users to target their advertisements.
