This is the doubling of business im Kate Ferguson thanks for joining me. The United States has filed an antitrust lawsuit against google accusing the company of illegally using its market power against its competitors the government says google has bought its success by paying mobile phone makers and others to make i think default Search Engine its the biggest challenge the u. S. Has launched against a tech Company Since a lot to mark ace against microsoft back in 1998 lets talk to his financial correspondent yes caught to in new york hi yes this is a pretty big deal whats behind this loss ace you know well i mean the whole and all sorts of was about one year in the making and the big question is if google actually violated antitrust laws here in the United States google is self is saying is that its not forcing anybody to use their search and gen or do advertising with google on the other side there is this claim that the Search Engine is preinstalled and that many devices and just one of the reasons so that this might be a blocking competition and was that at the end also you know ration and so for hurting consumers and yet his reactions to this case have been pouring in a ready stay with us for a moment were just going to take a listen to what one allah says this could mean for big tech i mean this is something that i think investors should not take lightly and i think as we get into actions depending on a blue we are no i think we could start to see more and more pressure against big tech giants from Business Model tweaks so obviously break ups is the more extreme i think this is going to be a long battle but ultimately i think this is a 1st step towards going to be you know the many chapters against big tech. Yes whats your take on this do you think this could be the beginning of a broader u. S. Crackdown on these Huge Tech Companies regulatory pressure is already underway for quite some time in just case so google could be seen as the guinea pig and lets say google would lose this case what actually might take quite some time to play out that could increase pressure on other tech giants and as well but even besides this lawsuit as i mentioned that regular jury pressure is high and probably we might see changes overall untrue trust law says im not mistaken the main changes to antitrust laws came even before world war one lawmakers all over the place and all over the parties are looking forward to change that so yes we can definitely expect more pressure on tech giants like google like Facebook Like amazon. But we will wait and see what actually will change if lawmakers will try to pressure those companies to break up if we might see fines if they have to change their Business Practices but yes there is definitely increased pressure on those tech giants google they can if they cant cut in new york thanks so much.
