A new round of antitrust questions can’t go well for Google
Bloomberg News and other news organizations reported late Friday that the U.S. Department of Justice is preparing to open an investigation into Google’s compliance with antitrust laws. That should terrify Google and every other big technology company — because there’s no guarantee that the antitrust Klieg light will turn on one company alone. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission in 2013 closed without further action its own antitrust investigation into whether Google wielded its dominant web search engine like a cudgel to disadvantage rivals, drive up prices for advertisers and ultimately harm consumers.
