The U.S. Justice Department is expected to file a lawsuit Tuesday alleging that Google has been abusing its online dominance in online search to stifle competition and harm consumers, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

The lawsuit marks the government's most significant act to protect competition since its groundbreaking case against Microsoft more than 20 years ago. It could be an opening salvo ahead of other major government antitrust actions, given ongoing investigations of major tech companies including Apple, Amazon and Facebook at both the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission.

Google controls about 90% of global web searches. The company has been bracing for the government's action and is expected to fiercely oppose any attempt to force it to spin off its services into separate businesses. A recent report from a House Judiciary subcommittee, following a year-long investigation into Big Tech's market dominance, concluded that Google has monopoly power in the market for search. It said the company established its position in several markets through acquisition, snapping up successful technologies that other businesses had developed -- buying an estimated 260 companies in 20 years.

This book is ten years old, but spoke about the destruction google was causing to everyday media. May seem quaint now, compared to the political manipulation they are involved in today. But Google was open enough to help the deplorables like Alex Jones and The Amazing Polly become famous to their followers and make quite a bit of money through un-researched, profane and quite vile conspiracy stories.
