A bipartisan coalition of states, led by Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser and Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson, is preparing to file an antitrust lawsuit against
Alphabet, Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) subsidiary Google over its dominance in online search, reports Politico.
What Happened: Reportedly, the lawsuit could be filed as soon as Thursday. The complaint alleges that Google has altered its search engine designs to disadvantage rivals that offer specialized search results.
It differs from the antitrust lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice against Google in October, over antitrust concerns in exclusive contracts awarded to mobile-phone manufacturers, carriers, and browsers to use Google as their default search engine.
