DOJ is suing Google for alleged antitrust abuses in search

[Mike Friedman]

Cannot find any information about exactly what those abuses are that the government is alleging.

I think this case is going to be an easy win for Google. The President has been calling for a suit against them for over a year. It's going to be hard for the government to prove this is not politically motivated because of that.

This is going to be one of those lawsuits fought for 3-4 years in court. The end result will be some sort of compromise where Google admits to no wrongdoing but commits to making a few non-impactful changes. Both sides claim victory. Everybody forgets about it in a week.

Isn't this pretty much how the Microsoft case went in the U.S. and I think several of them in Europe?
