On Thursday, a bipartisan group of 35 states—as well as Washington, D.C, Guam, and Puerto Rico—filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google alleging the company illegally used its market power to anti-competitively preserve its dominance of search. 

“Our economy is more concentrated than ever, and consumers are squeezed when they are deprived of choices in valued products and services,” Phil Weiser, Colorado's attorney general, said in a statement. “Google’s anti-competitive actions have protected its general search monopolies and excluded rivals, depriving consumers of the benefits of competitive choices, forestalling innovation and undermining new entry or expansion.”
