U.S. govt files antitrust lawsuit against Google: report

The U.S. Justice Department and 11 states filed a lawsuit against Alphabet Inc.'s Google on Tuesday for allegedly using its market power to fend off rivals, Reuters reported.

The lawsuit marks the biggest antitrust case in a generation, comparable to the lawsuit against Microsoft Corp filed in 1998 and the 1974 case against ATT which led to the breakup of the Bell System.

The lawsuit claims that Google acted unlawfully to maintain its position in search and search advertising on the internet.
