Ten state governments, including Texas, announced on the 16th that they have filed a lawsuit against Google in the federal district court for antitrust violations.
According to it, Google claims that it is disadvantageous to companies and consumers, such as using its monopoly position in the field of Internet advertising to illegally manipulate the market and keep advertising costs high. I am asking you to forbid the act.
