Google Exec to Testify Tuesday on Anti-Competitive Practices in Online Advertising
WASHINGTON, DC — Tomorrow, the Senate Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee will hold a key hearing with Google’s Donald Harrison, the president of global partnerships and corporate development, examining Google’s anti-competitive practices in online advertising.
“Google is one of the world’s biggest and worst monopolists, illegally using its enormous market power to manipulate the marketplace, harm consumers, crush small businesses, and censor and even silence conservatives — all while continuing to line the pockets of its billionaire bosses,” said Internet Accountability Project (IAP) founder and president Mike Davis. “The Obama-Biden Administration coddled Google for too long, leading to Google’s current monopolistic mess. The Senate Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee must call on our two federal antitrust law-enforcement agencies — the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Committee (FTC) — to end Google’s antitrust amnesty, do their jobs, and enforce our antitrust laws that have been on the books for a century.”
“We commend Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee chairman, for holding this key hearing. And we particularly praise Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) and Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri), two subcommittee members, for serving as the tip of the spear in the fight to bring accountability to Google and other Big Tech bullies.”
IAP is a nonprofit conservative advocacy group that holds Big Tech accountable for their profiting from human-sex trafficking, revenge-porn, the opioid epidemic and drug addiction, terrorism, and other forms of human misery, along with engaging in egregious business practices like snooping, spying, political bias against conservatives, employee abuses, and anticompetitive conduct.
