Head of The American Economic Liberties Project Mark Stoller on Friday said if the Department of Justice (DOJ) files antitrust charges against Google, it will be the biggest move to break up big tech since the 2001 Microsoft antitrust case.
“There hasn’t been an antitrust case like this for 20 years, since Microsoft,” Stoller told Hill.TV’s “Rising” Friday.
Stoller’s organization fights to break up corporate monopolies.
The New York Times reported Thursday that the DOJ plans to file antitrust charges against Google as soon as this month.
“This story is the most detailed understanding of the kind of debate and division in whether to bring a case or how to bring a case,” Stoller said.
“It’s a big deal that [Attorney General] Bill Barr is saying bring it by the end of September… because we know there’s going to be a case before the next administration.”
