CHICAGO Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and a bipartisan coalition of 38 other states attorneys general have sued Google over an alleged illegal search engine monopoly. According to the suit, filed Thursday in federal court in Chicago, the technology company s anticompetitive practices have hurt consumers by taking away their choices, stifling innovation and undermining privacy protections. For years, Google has engaged in anticompetitive behavior and conduct to illegally maintain its monopoly as an online search engine, Raoul said in a statement. Google s actions have not only negatively affected competition, advertisers, and business, but have also risked the privacy of consumers and left them with few alternatives to Google s platform.
