The Justice Department (DOJ) has hired outside litigators as part of their big tech probes, an indication the department is readying an antitrust suit against Google, according to a new report from Fox Business.
Last July, the DOJ announced that their department’s Antitrust Division is reviewing “market-leading online platforms” over a wide array of concerns relating to how they have “reduced competition, stifled innovation, or otherwise harmed consumers.”
