Accountable Tech Statement on DOJ’s Antitrust Victory Against Google

Accountable Tech Executive Director and Co-Founder Nicole Gill issued the following statement on U.S. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta’s ruling in the Department of Justice’s lawsuit against Google, deciding that it violated antitrust laws for abusing its monopoly over online search:

“Today’s decision marks a major victory for the antitrust movement – not only challenging the abusive practices of Google, but also spotlighting the monopolistic power of Big Tech companies that the industry has tried time and time again to sweep under the rug. This is a significant step toward real accountability from tech companies, which have evaded regulation for decades, boding well for the future of antitrust enforcement, greater consumer protection, and a better Internet for all.”
