Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost filed a lawsuit against Google on June 8, asking the court to declare the company a public utility and put the internet search giant under government regulation.
“Google uses its dominance of Internet search to steer Ohioans to Google’s own products—that’s discriminatory and anti-competitive,” Yost said in a statement. “When you own the railroad or the electric company or the cellphone tower, you have to treat everyone the same and give everybody access.”
