AAG Jonathan Kanter discusses what this week’s landmark Google verdict means for antitrust.
Today, I’m talking to Jonathan Kanter, the assistant attorney general for antitrust at the United States Department of Justice. This is Jonathan’s second time on the show, and it’s a bit of an emergency podcast situation. On Monday, a federal court issued a monumental decision in the DOJ’s case against Google, holding that Google Search and the text ads in that search engine are monopolies and that Google has acted anticompetitively to protect those monopolies.
So, a legal finding that a company is a monopolist and broke the law by illegally obtaining its monopoly power is a significant step forward. This is the first significant monopolization victory for the United States government in almost 25 years, the last being US v. Microsoft, so in and of itself, the accountability is significant.
