(WNY News Now) – HARRISBURG – Attorney General Henry has issued a statement following the U.S. District Court of Columbia’s ruling in the antitrust case United States v. Google, which found the tech giant to be engaging in unlawful monopolistic practices.
“Google has carved out a mega online presence that influences users to view and use their products by thwarting competition from rival search engines through exclusive agreements making Google the default search engine on popular devices and browsers. By design and definition, that is a monopoly.
“We are pleased with the federal court’s finding that those practices exist and are harmful to consumers. We will continue, with our state and federal partners, to pursue litigation that offers a more level playing field and consumers with a full range of options.”
