DOJ files antitrust lawsuit against Google on Tuesday

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google on Tuesday, accusing the tech giant of abusing its position to become a "gatekeeper" to the Internet by working to ensure its search service is used instead of its competitors.Filed in a Washington D.C.
