Google might be sued by the government being accused of anti-competitive practices.
There is some political agenda behind it, as Trump promised to go after the "Titan of Silicon Valley", but it according to spokesperson, the practice is undeniable, and Google might be using its data to get competitive advantages and stop any competition from rising and threatening the company.
The company went under investigation for more than 15 months - hundreds of companies and people that complained about Google's practices have been investigated, mentioning that Google control the adverting supply chain, and search engine over both computer and mobile applications.
More information will be released as the law suit is filled, but this is just one-step towards the investigation all major big techs have been under over the past months.
