50 US States and Territories Launch Antitrust Probe

Epoch Times:

Fifty U.S. States and territories, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, have launched an anti-trust probe into Google and the company’s “potential monopolistic behavior.” The investigation is being led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who formally made the announcement on Sept. 9.

The bipartisan probe from attorneys general included nearly every state in the nation, except for California and Alabama. President Donald Trump has increasingly called out Google and other technology companies for suppressing conservative voices. In August, Trump said on Twitter that his administration is “watching Google very closely.”

The new probe follows existing investigations at the federal level by the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission, which are currently probing Facebook, Google, Apple, and Amazon for potential violations of antitrust law.

Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson said at a Washington press conference that the sheer number of attorneys general joining together sends a “strong message to Google.” A Google spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment by The Epoch Times on the new probe. more here

    I watched it, too.
    This man is a proudly Democratic scientist.
    Loves Clintons(???!!).

    He did an honest scientific enquiry. The results of his Google algorithm study and were discussed and are truly scary.
    Now, he is surprised and shocked that he is being exposed to vicious attacks, both personally and professionally.

    Even really smart Dems really do have their heads in the sand to not understand the evil of the left that will catch up with them, sooner or later too, if they cross any ideological lines.
