US govt's lawsuit against Google: What the case is about

WASHINGTON - The US Justice Department's lawsuit against Alphabet Inc's Google kicks off what is expected to be a long legal battle over whether the online search and advertising company uses its outsized market power unfairly.

WHAT REMEDIES DID THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT REQUEST THE JUDGE IMPOSE? The Justice Department has broad leeway in requesting a remedy and on Tuesday , it said"nothing was off the table", including a breakup of the search and advertising company. For example, a recent search for a"Saturday Night Live" video resulted in several choices from Google's YouTube before NBC, which produces the show.

Google has been accused of being opaque in revealing its revenue from transactions, using"bundles" of products to disadvantage smaller rivals, and of rigging auctions. In terms of advertising, it argues that it competes with a large array of companies, including giants like Oracle Corp and Verizon Communications Inc. And it argues that online advertising prices have steadily declined over the past decade.
