The Department of Justice (DOJ) submitted its proposed remedies framework to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in connection to the historic antitrust lawsuit against Google for its anticompetitive practices in U.S. general search services and U.S. general search text advertising, including against news media companies. This first submission by DOJ of a high-level remedies framework kicks off the new remedies phase of this litigation, which will continue through a hearing set for April 2025.
Danielle Coffey, News/Media Alliance president and CEO, stated, “These remedies will go a long way towards addressing the broken marketplace created by Google’s monopoly practice of leveraging existing market power in search to extract unfair terms from content creators throughout its walled garden. Its anticompetitive behavior is unacceptable and unlawful, and Google must be held accountable.”
