Warren Statement on Federal Judge Ruling Google is Illegal Monopolist

Washington, D.C. – Following a federal judge ruling that Google acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in the online advertising market, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement:

“This is a big win in the fight to break up Big Tech. A judge ruled that Google broke the law, abusing its monopoly to raise prices and crush competition online. This victory is the result of years of work to rein in tech companies’ abuses.

Justice Department antitrust enforcers Jonathan Kanter and Doha Mekki, who both filed and prosecuted this case, deserve major kudos. Google is an illegal monopolist—and it’s time to break up this tech giant.”
