The investigation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/article\/2024\/jul\/30\/google-anthropic-partnership-cma-ai\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">had been launched<\/a> amid concerns about the concentration of AI power in the big tech companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The action against Google in the US follows a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/article\/2024\/aug\/06\/google-antitrust-monopoly-ruling\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">court ruling in August in favour of the DoJ<\/a> that found that the company had violated antitrust laws and spent billions building up an illegal monopoly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The DoJ\u2019s filing last month said Google\u2019s conduct had resulted in \u201cpernicious harms\u201d to users, and the importance of restoring competition to a market, which was \u201cindispensable\u201d could not be overstated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The case against Google was filed under the first Donald Trump administration and continued under Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Lee-Anne Mulholland, Google\u2019s vice-president of regulatory affairs, said the DoJ continued to push a \u201cradical agenda that goes far beyond the legal issues in this case\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThe government putting its thumb on the scale in these ways would harm consumers, developers and American technological leadership at precisely the moment it is most needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The case has echoes of the US government\u2019s attempt to break up Microsoft in the 1990s in an effort to challenge its dominance over the software market.<\/p>\n<figure data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.NewsletterSignupBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><a data-ignore=\"global-link-styling\" href=\"#EmailSignup-skip-link-15\" class=\"dcr-jzxpee\">skip past newsletter promotion<\/a><\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"newsletter promotion\" class=\"dcr-av5vqf\">\n<div class=\"dcr-10et71f\">\n<p class=\"dcr-rsfwa\">Sign up to <span>Business Today<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"dcr-1xjndtj\">Get set for the working day \u2013 we&#8217;ll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning<\/p>\n<p><gu-island name=\"SecureSignup\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;newsletterId&quot;:&quot;business-today&quot;,&quot;successDescription&quot;:&quot;Get set for the working day \u2013 we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning&quot;}\"\/><span class=\"dcr-1eusqlu\"><strong>Privacy Notice: <\/strong>Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.
