A group of 38 states in the United States jointly sued Google

Yesterday, 10 U.S. states jointly sued Google for allegedly colluding with Facebook to monopolize the online advertising market. This is also the second lawsuit since the U.S. Department of Justice sued Google.

But this is not the end, today, a group of 38 states jointly sued Google for monopolizing the search engine market, signing exclusive agreements and preferential treatment of their products when searching.

This is also the third antitrust lawsuit filed by the US federal and local governments against Google. This antitrust lawsuit is similar to the issues raised by the US Department of Justice.

The issues raised by this antitrust lawsuit are similar to those of the US Department of Justice, that is, Google uses illegal means to monopolize the US search engine market and has an exclusive agreement.

The exclusive agreement mainly refers to the agreement between Google and Apple to pay a huge ransom to become the default search for Apple devices such as computers, mobile phones, and tablets.

Preferential treatment of its own products refers to the Google company in certain search fields, if it has its own products, it will give priority to display the search results of its own products.

This is like when you search for content to a certain degree, a large number of certain account content is ranked first. Obviously, this approach of Google is not conducive to the competition of third-party companies.

This type of issue has become the argument of the U.S. federal agency, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. local governments, which are U.S. states that prosecute Google because these actions are illegal.

This is also the third antitrust lawsuit that Google has encountered in the United States within a month. It is estimated that Google will have to deal with various lawsuits in the next one to two years.
