Reuters/Washington, United States
(Reuters)
The states asked the court to find Google guilty of breaking antitrust law.
Google faced its third major lawsuit in two months on Thursday as 38 U.S. states and territories accused the $1 trillion (Dh3.67 trillion) company of abusing its market power to try to make its search engine as dominant inside cars, TVs and speakers as it is in phones.
The lawsuit against the company s parent Alphabet Inc follows years of complaints that it and other big tech firms including Facebook and Amazon use their massive market power to smite competitors in pursuit of profits.

An embarrassment to Nebraska
As a lifelong Nebraska Republican and Nebraska attorney, I am extremely disappointed that the Nebraska attorney general has decided to join the Texas lawsuit challenging the election results in other states. Instead of using Nebraska taxpayersâ money on issues that directly impact Nebraska, the attorney general is trying to interfere with other statesâ election processes and their laws regarding elections. The Nebraska attorney generalâs actions are an embarrassment to the state of Nebraska.
Ron Bucher,
Texas lawsuit a farce
Our attorney generalâs joining of a lawsuit to overthrow the election is outrageous. The suit by a number of Republican attorneys general is a farce. The election is settled. So far, all courts have upheld it. This is a prank and an effort to undermine the election in his sycophantâs minds. Doug Peterson is a shame and sham. Even worse, he joins the abhorrent attorney general of Texas. A buffoon. I guess
