Tennessee Wins Federal Antitrust Case Against Google

Tennessee secures a ruling against Google for violating antitrust laws.

NASHVILLE – Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti has announced a significant bipartisan victory in a federal lawsuit against Google. Judge Amit Mehta of the US District Court for the District of Columbia determined that Google had violated federal antitrust law, specifically Section 2 of the Sherman Act, in relation to monopolizing their search and advertising business.

“I’m proud my Office was part of the trial team that successfully proved Google is an illegal monopolist,” stated Attorney General Skrmetti. “We will continue to work alongside our AG partners and the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division to protect consumers from Google’s anticompetitive conduct.”
